here's the write up most ppl think is the best and it's the one i used.

i just did the conversion 2.5 months ago and i am loving the 6 speed my first car was a 5 speed datsun 280z so im biased towards stick anyway... it wasnt to bad took me about 4 days... it was the first time i had ever messed with the tranny on the car.... no powertools ... and the car was only high enough of the ground to slide the tranny underneath, i would do it again if i had to
dont know about that its costs a lot more to get the auto rebuilt and mine was breaking stock tranny mounts about every 8 months.... i may be wrong but i thought it was quite a bit cheaper to get a 6 speed rebuilt than a auto

If you love dealing with hydraulic problems put the 6 spd in. I personally am so fed up with the hyd system that i am looking into a a4 conversion so i can actually floor my car down the track and it actaully shifts, can I get an amen from anyone???
i dont have any problems with the hydraulic's on my car in fact i like it more than what my friend had- his mustang used a wire to control the clutch on it, he couldnt not get it to work worth anything with a aftermarket clutch
I had wanted to convert my a4 to a m6 since shortly after I bought mine. However the thought, of burning thru clutches and etc. no thanks. Throw a nig stall in it and your will be happy

id say if you want to swap, just buy a wrecked fbody with a 6spd...but if its at all possible to push the t/a and talon off on someone and just buy an m6, do that.
