Default m6 to a4 swap

I've been thinking of swapping my m6 for an a4 here lately... Anyone know what all is involved in doing this? I know I'll need to change harnesses and add a program for the transmission in the pcm, but what else is there? How much of a PITA would this swap be? Any info is appreciated. Thanks guys.

What are you doing with the t-56? Wanna trade, ive got a built A4? Ive been wanting to swap to an M6 because i really started to get into auto-x. The swaps ive read about havent been too bad at all.

Maybe... I might keep it, I dunno yet. Where are you located? I've read a few threads about this, it sounds like all I'll really need is a harness adapter, pedals, tranny & tc, shifter, console, and a crossmember. Plus a pcm reflash for the tranny program, if the pcm for an M6 car can be used with an A4...

Alright well you can PM me whenever, im located in Ohio, so im pretty far hah. But from my reading, all you need is a reflash of the PCM.. You pretty much know everything else you need. Id be willing to swap everything you need too.

I would think it would be a little more tricky going from an m6 to an a4 due to having to fill in the shifter hole and shifter harness etc. Probably not much more difficult just tricky but who knows.
