Hi all!
So im currently in the process of installing a T56 (M6) into my car. I have already removed the 4l60e (A4). I managed to pick up a whole 'conversion kit' yesterday, just finished servicing the box and cleaning everything up. At the moment i have a few questions after reading a few threads posted here.
1. Will the car still have cruise control after the T56 conversion? (Have heard you need to splice the wires on the brake pedal)
2. The conversion came with the flywheel and clutch, the clutch has seen about 60,000kms but looks to be in good shape. Do i have to get the flywheel machined if the clutch and flywheel were removed from the same car at the same time? 3 small hot spots but nothing major.
3. Whats the best way to bleed the Master Cylinder on a T56?
4. Does anyone have any photos or information on exactly what wires need to be cut and rewired? (Reverse lights, Speedo, etc) I have a full manual loom but dont want to replace the whole thing, instead im happy to use parts of the manual loom to convert the auto loom.
5. Is there a recommended way to install the Clutch Pedal Box? cant seem to find any threads about this.
6. Once installed and running (Hopefully), what error codes will be thrown but the ECU? and how will the engine perform until the tune has been modified? (Currently running an aftermarket Dyno tune) apparently the speedo will be out by quite a lot?
7. I have heard that the Reverse Lockout mechanism wont work until the ECU is retuned?
8. Is it better to install the trans and bell housing as one piece? or remove the bell housing and install it first? (I have been told it easier to line up the box and tighten the bell housing bolts if they are separated)
9. Torque settings: i know the flywheel needs to be torqued, but do the bell housing bolts and the bolts that hold the trans to the tail shaft dont need to be torqued?
Other than that any info, links, tips or tricks you guys might have would be amazing since there are so many threads and forums out there with so many different answers i dont know which to follow.
