Without your help, none of the swap would have gone smoothly.

So far the hardest part was sourcing the parts for the swap. I happen to live in Montana, and it's scarcely populated with both people and Audi's, especially Audi parts cars and/or parts in general. The real hero in the story is AZ user Godfather #90, who did a fantastic job of getting parts pulled from his parts car, and secured onto a pallet, then delivering them to a shipping terminal so they can ship to me via local terminal. I feel I have an Audi brother-from-another-mother in Buffalo, NY.
Here's all the parts I ended up needing, and he had:
Here's on the way to me, as of today:

Below are questions and answers from early in the thread, relevant information:
I'm looking to do a transmission swap, and need a bit of info. I have also searched and compared ETKA diagrams and part #'s.
Here's my situation - I have a possible parts car close to me - It's a B5 5 speed and it would/should have everything I need for the swap (thx to the various swap threads):
brake/clutch pedal assembly (from a B6 Audi A4)
clutch master cyl
clutch slave cyl (get an early B5 one, they're metal not plastic)
brake master cylinder reservoir to clutch master cylinder hose (6” of rubber fuel line would be fine)
clutch slave cyl hard/soft line (braided stainless steel soft line)
manual transmission 5 speed (any B5, B6 or B7 manual transmission will bolt up)
manual transmission cross member or side mounts (must match whatever manual transmission you used)
manual transmission front CV halfshafts (must match whatever manual transmission you used)
clutch fork (must match whatever manual transmission, should be installed already)
throw out bearing (should be installed already)
shifter assembly/control rods (from a B6 Audi A4)
flywheel/clutch disc/pressure plate (not required, but if a good set is available)
rear differential that matches final drive of the manual transmission
front to rear drive shaft (must match whatever manual transmission you used)
manual transmission down pipe (from the back of the cat to the mid exhaust pipe)
All of the above parts would be donated from a B5.
From what I can tell, the B5 transmission will bolt to the 1.8T in a B6 (AMB) - can anybody confirm that it's a straight bolt in? No need for any adapter plates etc?
Also, how about half shafts, and rear drive shafts...I'm needing to know if they will be the correct length from a B6 -> B6 transplant.
What parts would or would not bolt up?
Thoughts? Ideas?
