Default 2005 C6 Transmission swap

Hello, I have a 2005 C6 automatic, it comes with the 4 gears transmission. Can I replace the transmission with the 2006 or later 6 gears one? If so, how can I do it.

Thanks!!

I would trade the car before I would change transmissions. Lots of issues because 05 has a different computer than 06 and newer cars. Plus the diff is 05 only and that causes issues as well.

Why not just build the A4?
