Default Stick to auto swap

How involved would it be to put a auto into a manual car?

I like the frc / Z06 body but want a auto.

Cpu change ?

Thanks mike

Search the various C5 forums. More than a few have done this DIY.

Finding a donor A4 car would be a plus!

There's a fellow parting out a Z06 that has been converted. He may have the parts needed for the conversion.

If you do this, please be sure to try and document your process. I have a file on an A4 to manual conversion, but not the other way around.

Rpm did mine also. I miss the 6 spd every blue moon but with mainly city driving I really like the auto now. No down shifting when your wanting full power, just floor it and hold on.

Here's a forum member (link below) who did an A4 swap in May, 2012, maybe he can give you some pointers, ideas. I just installed (2 weeks ago) a RPM Level IV A4 tranny in my Vette, absolutely outstanding...
