doing an A4 to M6 conversion, does the pilot bearing for the M6 sit in the rear main seal housing? do i need to buy a rear main seal and housing for a M6 LS1?

The best I can understand is that I need to get a "Clutch Pedal Anticipation Switch" at least and wire it into the brake switch also in a series and then to where does it go?
Also since the swap, my TCS off light is on and will not turn back on, switch is non functioning right now. Will a reflash take care of it?
Computer will be reflashed Saturday with HPTuners.

you might need to splice your reverse lights. I'm not sure if they're in that engine harness or not but I had to run a wire from the A4 shifter to the switch in the tranny. It's no big deal at all since you have to cut the hole anyways for the shifter, just either drill a hole or run it under that lower shifter boot. just make sure you get some kind of grommet for it or shrink tube and lots of tape. that's all I can really think of. the dash harness probably has the clutch safety start switch and cruise cutoff switches on it.

Im going to be doing an a4-m6 swap in the winter. Where are you guys getting your a4 to m6 conversion kits from and what else is needed besides the kit? Just a T56?
How much do the kits usually go for?

I read through most of this...but maybe I missed it...I hope someone can help.
Let's say I want to swap my auto for the 6 speed. If I have a donor 6 speed car that is putting a turbo 350 or something and won't need the wiring harness... what all do I need to take his wiring. Does the 6 speed wiring come seperate at some point that makes it easy to swap.
Basically what I'm saying is how hard is it to make a auto cars wiring look identical to a stock 6 speed wiring if I can get ahold of it all.

It took me like 2 hours to remove the whole ENGINE wire harness, but there is also an INTERIOR wire harness, which would probably be another hour or two. If you wanted to make it look stock you need the engine one, and the interior one also..

Well I just did one - and let me say one thing, unless you are there watching the shop you will never know if they did it right, I was swapping w/ a guy who was ALSO originally an automatic, but now an M6, and he wanted to go back to automatic, and the job they did on his car was real bad - tranny only had 4 bolts on it, among other stuff...
