i searched all over but never could find a guide for using the stock shifter for the tranny. anyone know of a write up about how to do a TH350/400 swap and keep the car looking as stock as possible?

yeah, i read that sticky but couldnt find exactly what i was looking for. maybe i am just seeing things wrong. main thing is i wont be using a manual valve body and it seems most of the people use one and put in a manual console and keep it stock looking that way.

 

With a forward valve body you can use the stock a4 console and shifter. I have it and only difference is 2nd on the indicator is 1st and so on. Still appears stock though. Even used the factory cable.

 

great, thats what i wanted to hear. everything in the sticky was talking about TH400 and i know there are some slight differences in the 2 so i didnt know if it would work for the TH350. can you give me some advice on whats needed or is will i see it once i get under the car and start to work on it?

 

I use a stock A4 shifter/console as well.I modded the shifter to work with my RMVB with my TH400 and it looks just like a factory auto,and i was a M6 before.In the thread i posted it says how to mod the factory shifter to work with a RMVB
