Default A4 conversion set-up avaliable

With three A4 conversions completed in the last 90 days, I am looking to do another one. I will only sell these parts as an install at RPM. The torque tube is from a low mileage 04 and the rest of the small parts are brand new (shifter,wiring,cable,cooler,etc...). The transmission and differential build will be up to the customer. I just finished one conversion and would like to get started right away on the next one. I also have a good collection of M6 change over parts that if someone was interested we could do a A4 to M6 swap. Call for more info.

Default how much?

there may be others out here who love their M6 Vettes, but may need to find an automatic due to circumstances (knee replacement for me) and wonder what the cost is to change out the tranny? The only other real option, if you love Corvette's like I do, is to find another one with A4. I can't imagine life without my Vette! So how about it? What's the bottom line? Thanks for your reply!

I can't imagine MY LIFE without my Vette also. I'm totally with Uncle52, but on the reverse side. I have an A4 with only 24K well taken care of miles. I'd like to switch over to Mn6. I think if Uncle52 and I show up together at RPM, we both can have what we want and be happy. And Rodney, you get your wish of working to 2 cars at a time doing both A4, and Mn6 switch at the same time.... . Life could be perfect, Hey ... why not. So, how much its gonna cost us? Just a thought... Thanks...

Rodney switched my A4 to an MN12 from a Z06. Micropolished and all. He does great work and stands behind it 100%. Great vendor to do business with. If you are thinking about this, he is more than reasonable and I really enjoy the manual trans personally. I couldn't even pay the taxes for a trade and get out of it for what this cost me.

Rodney installed my T-56 with all the goodies in it and it has very low miles. I might be interested in swapping it out for an Auto. Is there any kind of core credit if you keep my old stuff or would I have to keep it and sell it myself? I also have a Mcleod Street twin w/ aluminum flywheel with 1500 miles that I wouldnt need and a B&M Short throw shifter. Oops I just noticed the last words of call for more info

Im putting down 520/484 N/A with a 402, I need a fully built setup. I also have a NX wet kit on it that I havent tried yet. I am waiting on a e-mail with some pricing before I make any decisions. I am only a 5 hour drive from Rodney.

I talked to Todd and he said they send the tune in your car out to someone and it gets modified to Auto. The rest of your tune should be fine. I plan on having a auto swap done here, these guys are the BEST.

I think much of the tune stays the same, but changes definitely need to be made. Phil did my auto conversion and retune. Shoot him a PM and I'm sure he can give you a hand after your auto goes in.

I also went with an RPM trans. Great product and great service.

Bringing this back up to the top. I would like to see some numbers for what the cost is for the MN6 to A4 conversion.
Have a '99 FRC with Spec 3 clutch and 4.10 DTE rear end.

I have a 99 A4, with 25K miles. Looking to get Mn6 or Mn12. Need pricing. P.S: I already have the Mn12 rear end (3.42) installed.
