pedals ,tranny,crossmember,and a tune. oh yea and the hydraulics. no need to swap pcm a tune will take care of the timing curve and the slight adjustment to the fuel tables and idle. the pcm in my m6 ls1 came from a a4 car.

I can help you out with it. We currently have a car out of Oklahoma that we are swapping an M6 to TH400 RMVB / Brake currently. On the same car we are also doing... N2O install, Strange 12 bolt, B&M Ratchet Shifter, all related wiring harness mods and probably a few more goodies before it is all said and done.

Shoot me a p.m. if you are interested... I'll be back at the shop Monday if you would like to discuss it in detail.

Mike at Icon Autosports quoted me a very fair price to do it. I'll be having him do mine. He's done work on mine before, he's very detail oriented, smart, and fair. No trust issues at all, which is most important.

ok guys i appreciate the help. i got a few ideas lined up i just gotta wait tell i find out what just happend with this tranny first before i make a decision... it's a great tranny but have never had any body good work on it so i could just be bad installs, plus it was just sent back for a problem that didn't exist but the mechanic insisted it was it. so it only has a few thousand miles sence it was apart and frank at performabuilt said it looked like new soo idk.. well see how it goes.

Why don't you give me a call tomorrow. Sounds like you need someone who can give you solid advice. I do help many people understand their next moves very often.

Call me, tell me your situation and we'll put a plan into place that you can take to any shop and get taken care of. That's what I do, help folks. You need some preofessional advice from someone who can remain objective. I do that for folks every day as well.

Call me.
