Someone said I can use my A4 wiring harness for the M6? Does that mean I dont have to wire anything? I havent fully read the text in the link but I am about to. I see the mod where you can start the car w/o clutch in but I'd rather have that safety precaution so I wont be doing that.

Guys, great job on explaining things, but try to clarify my next question.
My old (frontend totalled) car was an M6 98model and i just bought a 99model SS thats an auto. I have a complete car to take from, so other than "plug n play" what other wires and odds and ends do i have to look for and do?

Those thinking about doing an M6 swap WARNING....WARNING ......WARNING. DO NOT BUY A 99+ YEAR WAIRING HARNESS FOR A 98 AND VISE VERSA. YOU WILL FRY YOUR PCM. I found out the hard way. 99+years are all the same 98 is the only year that was different. Everything is very simple. Hardest part is cutting hole for the shifter and the master cylinder, otherwise very simple.
Wiring-----------If you just connect the Dark Green wire with the purple wire with the stripe you will not have to have the cluch depressed to start the car. No big deal (In My Own Opinion.

A4 to M6??? I am buying a 2004 ZO6 which has an 4-spd Automatic (yeah, I didn't know the ZO6 came in an automatic either). I would like to change the A4 to an 6-spd Manual.
Should I do this, or is the Automatic better?

I think if your in the buying phase you always BUY what you want even if you have to wait to get it or drive three states over.
When I did the swap in my 93 its because it was pretty heavily modded and I went through 4 trannys (I'm a BAD person to ask on the 4L60\T56 debate). Plus it was a 93 so the investment was out the window.
I would touch a 04 Z06 with a transmission conversion. Buy a coupe then mod it if you want an auto. If you want to go all out then Yank is working on a T400 setup in the C5

"shifter console insert (replaces automatic shifter insert)" where can i get that? Is that just the area the shifter is or is it the entire center console that needs the swap?
