this is what you're going to need.


1) Transmission
2) Clutch and Flywheel
3) Cross-Member/Mounting bracket
4) Hydraulics Master /Slave Cylinder
5) BellHousing
6) M6 Pedals + M6 Console
7) Shifter + ****

It's basically a bolt in. All you have to do is reflash the computer. It's been done plenty of times before.

hope that helps

You will also Be Cutting a Hole for the Clutch master, and The shifter.
I did one on an LT1 a couple of months ago.
Also you need to make sure the Torque arm bracket on the tranny is there.
they are different from A4 To T56.
A boot for the shifter also.

The wiring harness does not necessarily have to be changed. There's some wiring to the process though. You can either reflash the pcm or put in the m6 pcm.
