I'm trying to find someone on long island (i'll even go for the tri-state area) who can do a A4 to MN6 swap soup-to-nuts for me.

I've weighed selling the car and getting the same one, but manual. For all the trouble and time that'll take it would be worth a few grand to have it swapped out and upgraded in the process.

I would most likley go with a stronger clutch, 3.90 rear, abs of steel, etc...all at the same time. Can anyone point me in the right direction
