Are you going to a mn6 or just swapping your auto??
I did think about putting a Z06 transmission in. At my level of horsepower downshifts are a bi-ahtch in traffic, unintentionally breaking loose is more melodramatic than I meant to be, exposing me to accidents and tickets. Other times I'm not quite at my torque peak, meaning I miss or pass up holes in traffic I know I had the power to safely take.

Re: A4 swap - how difficult? (vstella)
Thanks Mike, Vstella. That's perfect info. Looks like it's best if the torque tube is pulled from the bellhousing to get the trans out.
Now I'm wondering if I can bench-press an A4.
