Yes please take some notes on the clutch pedal switches wiring. I still need the wiring info for the hatch and cruise control to work...

It's being bled now and about to go home. I'll post more pics when he gets it all cleaned up tomorrow or later this week.
Still to do:
Wire up a starter disable to the clutch pedal
Wire up the reverse lockout solenoid
Wire up the reverse lights
Wire up the CAGS



Wait a minute..........


CAGS

i thought that was the wrong pilot bearing but i figured it might hvae been one that people use for a swap! Those ******* things suck taking out. My dad and I broke a discount auto parts rent a tool pilot bearing remover, so we basically welded the pilot bearing to a slide hammer to get that bitch out. I might have some extra carpet in a couple weeks for paul.

Actually the trans tunnel is the same, the tranny is just easier to get around. Good job on doing the write-up and pics. I just did this swap myself less than a month ago. I would have loved to have this to reference 1st. Tell us what you hated the most when you are done! For me it was the top bolt in the A4 bellhousing....holy ****!

Did you take the automatic shifter out yet? The car wont start if it is unplugged.

Like I said above, it's done. He'll probably bring it back inside to finish the non-essential wiring later this week.
