Tough call

The aftermarket couplers are nice, but I've read about tolerance issues which causes drive train noise.

I know Doug@ECS broke his at the track once. (I bought the HD after that)
Far as I know, never heard anyone else breaking the stock coupler.

But, if you got the bucks & don't mind a little noise, I'd do it.

im running that HD coupler and it rattles at idle but I know it wont break

Hey guys I am going the other way from A4 to m12. Can one of you m6 or m12 guys measure the size of the hole in the firewall where the clutch line comes out of? Maybe like 2 inches or so??? I have never seen a 6 speed in person so i want to get everything correct the first time

Thanks Guys

from the top to the bottom its 2 1/2 in. your talking where the master cylinder goes right?

Chris Stewart

If it's not clamped, I would expect a jingle. I'll pass on that option unless it breaks.

RPM use to make a version that has a clamp. Let me dig up a picture.

C5sleeper

Yes i was talking about where the master goes. Thanks Chris

Lets just say nothing just goes together right.

Got the new driveshaft buttoned up. All new bearings and drilled and tapped the holes to 12mm with rpm poly couplings.








Also there are 3 holes 1 has a bolt in it the others dont, what is this for. just leave it alone?


Was gonna leave the diff alone but decided to try the new eaton carrier unit.



Im about ready to install the drivetrain just gotta run the wiring which leads me to more problems.
So i called rpm and the told me pcs controller will go behind the battery, so i put it there and stretched out the other wires and the tranny connector stops at the tunnel shield. so its to short or im doing something wrong.






Need lots of help on wiring so i can get this done

I see what the problem is, you didn't move your battery to the rear.

This is a great thread. I'm going to start my auto conversion on my 01 Z soon.

I've got a complete swap out of an auto.

3 questions I'd like clarified.

1) the guy I'm getting the auto set up says he's giving me the wiring harness too.

If i understand the posts here so far, this harness terminates in a cannon plug and I have to buy the other half of the harness from a vendor like RPM that will have the proper leads to install into the PCM

2) there is a bracket that needs to be welded in the tunnel to attach the shiffter cable to?

Where can I get this bracket? Think I could make a suitable bracket?

3). The purple and yellow wires from the clutch don't have to be pulled out, as the new harness will have the proper wires that attach to the neutral safety switch.

Thanks.

Just leave the bolt holes alone.

1.) Not sure when your 2001 was built, but there were some minor changes mid year 2001 to some of the harness connections.

2.) RPM sells the bracket. Need to be welded up in the tunnel.

3.) Don't touch the wires inside. "C146" connector will plug into tranny harness connector and run back to tranny switch.

easy to just buy a A4 auto corvette to start with and you get a removable top too

corvette8189

That's the truth


Rpm whats the deal on the wiring?

I made my own with a big flat washer, drilled the center out, cut a slot and then welded a l shaped bracket to it. Took about 30 minutes to make.

C5 Pete

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the pic.

I think I'll make my own.
