A4 -> M6 swap complete!!!

Yeah lots of work but it was a cool feeling once everything worked out. I just have a few little wiring things to work out, but overall everything functions great. HUGE thanks to the Larkins for their help also, without them this swap would have been an even bigger pain in the ***. Now I can say automatics are for chumps

His car ran good with the 4l60 in it, but there's no fun in only 2 pedals. But i guess the hand you dont use shifting you can with your vagina with.

Very cool Raf! It will feel like an entirely new car to you now. No more annoying highway drone, you can now control the gears yourself.

PM me if you ever sell the car, wouldn't mind having another clean NBM formula with a 6-speed
