Default Trading the manual for a automatic.

Well finally got all my parts for my m6 to a4 swap. Pretty sure i got everything I need, at least the significant other thinks so..


4l60e Out of a 98 and newer
Torque converter
Flexplate
A4 crossmember out of 98+
Trans dipstick tube
Trans lines for cooler
Trans cooler
A4 pedals
A4 shifter
A4 shifter cable
A4 center console
A4 wireing harness





This is the only pic i have so far, but more to come as it progresses. Now if only it will warm up outside it would be even better...:bang

I just like the a4 better. IMO there is nothing better than to just take the ttops off and just drive not having to worry about shifting. Dont get me wrong i like the m6, i just the a4 better...

People would kill for LS1 M6 these days... lol. GL. You also need a tune... Pretty much swap 98 LS1 A4 tune over your M6.

what are you doing with all your M6 parts? I have an A4 and am wanting to eventually convert to M6...I live in the KC area..so might be close enough to pick up?

I would seriously consider adding an aftermarket stall while you've got it all out. Coming from a M6 to stock stalled A4 may be a little disappointing fun factor-wise.

I don't blame you for going to A4 though, every now and then I would enjoy a M6 but that's only when I'm on open road with no cars around. All other times I love not having to work a clutch.

Oh yeah dont get me wrong i love the m6 but i think that i would really enjoy the a4 more. And i have to agree with you on the open road, nothing better than tearing up the road. I got my fun out of it while it is in. And as for the stall, i drove a a4 auto and its not that bad for me. Im just starting out with all this and i just bought the car the end of jan with taxes. But putting in a stall is not in the cards for me right now. But later on down the road, sure. Baby steps for me right now.
