6sp auto into 4sp auto car

[Demonsniper1]

Like the title says my friend is wanting to put a newer 6 speed auto into his 04 8 which came with a 4 speed auto. So what all is need for the swap and will it just bolt in or will a custom mount be needed to bolt it in ?
Thanks

For the people who says to just put a normal 6sp in the car well the guy can't drive stick to save his life. I took him out about 6-7 times for 30 mins each time to try and teach him but he just dont have any left foot control at all for the clutch.

Basics, but I am sure it is more involved:

Trans, driveshaft, trans computer, gauge cluster

IF the ECU controls both the engine and trans you would need:
-ECU
-Trans
-Driveshaft
-ABS pump
-Ignition system

etc.....


Tell him to trade it in.

Ok thanks man. I have told him more then once to just sale and get a newer model but he would have been upside down on the trade so yea....

Upside down? Is it a 2006? He should be close to payoff by now. There is something to be said for having no note on a sports car, especially a rotary.

nope he didnt listen and got an 04 base with 60k miles on it, when on leave from Iraq back in 08 and payed way to much for it.
