You need the T56 transmission mount. Also pigtails for the reverse lights, and whatever else you want to work. Then do your wiring.

You will also need a m6 torque arm unless you bought an aftermarket one.

Honestly, the swap is not difficult. I just finished mine about 3 weeks back. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a pm.

Actually, I think you just need the torque arm mount, not the whole arm.
Im getting ready to do this too soon, so Im gathering info.
Correct me if Im wrong.

I think that the mounting location is different on the 2 tranny's.

If you get an aftermarket, it's a good idea to spring the extra cash for on that has a ds saftey loop on it.

A4 mount will work with the t56

You need M6 crossmember

You need the torque arm mount from a T56 car, your stock torque arm will work. you just need the upper and lower mount there is an upper and lower part that clamp together. Thats all you need to make your TA work.

I use my A4 torque arm with mine, you just need the M6 tranny mount/cross member and the T/A mount.

torque arm mount,m6 crossmember,throw out bearing,pressure plate,pilot bearing.and if your hydraulics arent new get new ones. i put in used hydraulics that i got with the swap and the slave was bad.. just yanked the master and slave out and got 2 new ones. woulda been easier if i would have done that the first time...b.t.w make sure you have all the bolts. also a 24 in 3/8 extension and a 3/8 universal joint will help alot.
