a4 to m6
does anyone have a complete parts list of what is needed to swap my a4 to a m6? Also does anyone know what would be the cost of doing this in parts only, i am not sure if i want to pay to have it done or not.

with myself doing all the work (except for the $50 i paid for a PCM reflash) i paid almost $3K on the dot. Thats a new clutch, Tick Master, new slave, and built transmission, so going all used parts seems to be around $2K.
As for what parts are needed, look in the sticky in the manual transmission FAQ. It has a complete list on one of the first few pages.

yeah i know what you mean its just that i do use it as my daily right now and i know that i would get much better fuel mileage, and also i like being able to feel the power more driving down the road. also i know itll be a couple grand in parts but after i throw a converter in along with building the transmission itll end up being at least the same amount of money. although i do know that my quarter will be much better. so i guess my mind is not made up yet and i need to do things right so i can go 10's unlike i did on my last car.

I understand your general ideas. I don't understand the "feel the power while driving" though. There is nothing better then feeling the speed from the torque multiplication during converter flare and the shift extension pull after a shift in an auto. It is low maintenance haul ***. You press your foot down and you go, no matter what gear, what rpm. The converter and trans take care of everything else. A manual needs to be in the right gear/to be in the powerband, and IMO rear gears. It needs a good clutch or it won't take a beating very nicely. It has no torque multiplication, and locked in rpms (as opposed to converter flare). Some say autos are boring to drive. Mine isn't.

I just switched over to a t56 from a broken 4l60e. At the track, my car is slower. and you know what? I DON'T CARE! I LOVE driving it to work. and I feel even better when I beat someone with the t56 especially considering that you could make a double-decker sandwich between my shifts, I'm so freakin slow. I love my m6 car and I'll never go back.
I got a freakishly amazing deal and got every single part relating to the shifting of a Camaro for the low price of 1500 bucks everything from the plastic to the performance clutch to the tick stage 2 trans & tick master, to the pro 5.0 and Lou's stick, to the clutch and all bolts bagged and tagged. I must emphasize, that price was freakishly low and was acquired from a man who was leaving for the air force very shortly. DO NOT EXPECT TO GET WHAT I GOT FOR EVEN REMOTELY NEAR THAT PRICE. expect to spend in the neighborhood of 3 grand.
my advice: If it ain't broke, don't **** with it! take it from someone who went through it. it's a complete pain in the ***.
