A4 shifter mounting on M6 swap?
you gotta make a plate to cover the bigol hole in teh floor. that plate will be perfect fo mounting your new shifter. just do all that before the trans goes in so you can have access to the bottom of the trans tunnel for through bolts/nuts.

i know i kind of puss'd out with this one (i couldn't find a plate and didn't want to have the car down for any longer than absolutely necessary). the closest thing i found was really thin sheetmetal, i used self tapping screws and a lot of silicone to seal up the hole, but then i just used another bigger self tapping screw to bolt the very front of the shifter bracket to the body. if you lay the shifter into place over the M6 trans tunnel, you will see where i'm talking about. i used the back two holes to bolt the back to the tunnel. worked out well.
I did a A4 to M6 swap and cut a lot of important looking **** out.
I've thought about swapping back, if I do I'm going to the junkyard with a battery powered sawzall and cut a chunk of the tunnel out of another car.
