6MT Conversion Project

[RAUDI]

Hello forums members,

I bought my RS6 the first week of July and lost my TC / Tranny by the end of the month. After spending a lot of time reading this forum and being inspired by Steveken I decided to start saving my money. I didn't waste a penny trying to fix the auto. I've ordered my parts toybox from audis4parts and begun my tear down. It's going to take me some time to do the saving for each step so I'm doing this at a leisurely pace in the garage during weekends and the occasional evening.

I'm looking forward to being a useful part of this community and learning a ton about a beautiful car. Thanks very much to Steveken for your time and help so far. I'm sure there will be more questions as progress continues.

Driveshaft removal was the goal of this past Sunday. Ended up getting the front half shafts, sway bar, and the sub-frame out as well.

Good luck with this and keep us posted!

[JSRS6]

Figures I would leave Hampton Roads and another Avus/black would take my place. Cheers! And good luck.

How many miles were on your car when the tranny popped?

[RAUDI]

That's too bad you've gone. Local hands on knowledge is always nice to have around. Thanks for the luck and I will keep this up to date as it moves along.

[RAUDI]

She is at 119,074 miles.

Alright I'm at 68k, hopefully I have more time on mine. Just the same I'm calling about a couple 2.7t manual parts cars tonight.

Hi Greg! Good luck on the swap... Please keep us updated! The pics are priceless!

I think a tune is the quickest way to shorten the life of a trans, keep that in mind. Plenty of other factors too, and a tune sure is worth it performance wise. My TC went at 87k, should have been replaced earlier, trans went at 94k, was tuned the last 20k.

Speaking of tune, Greg, you will need to contact Jason @ AMD in Woodinville, WA on the 6mt tune to get rid of the ABS light. FYI

Greg, good luck with the swap. Tracking thread. Oh, and clean up that garage! What a mess

Next time I'm up that way with my beast, I'll hit you up.

[RAUDI]

JSRS6 - I can't wait to see it.
AlrightRoad - It's the dog's fault. She's supposed to clean up as I work. She never does.....
4.2Crew - I'll keep logging pictures as I work. Should be more to come after Thanksgiving.
Thanks for all the good wishes guys.

Awesome- Thanks for sharing the adventure!

Anyone taking bets on when this one is for sale?

[MaxRS6]

Wahahahaha....

That doesn't seem very nice...This makes my 3rd major project car. Unless I come into a ton of money I don't see any way to out grow this car. It has everything I need. 4 doors, all wheel drive, child harnesses, heated seats, 8 piston brakes, 2 turbos, 8 cylinders.
