OK, Installed this today. I'll do a DYI but I wanted to give my feedback before I do.
1) A TON OF WARNING throughout the directions -- watch out for headers, watch out for heat, etc -- I felt 'Do you really want me to install this?'.
2) WHY if you're worried about heat and headers, do you NOT supply a heat wrap? I bought one after all the warnings -- seriously, include it with the kit.
3) Called tech support as the dip stick just would NOT go in. I have pictures to show I routed this so it had the least amount of hard bends. The dip stick must be universal. Any way, tech support could not help me BECAUSE THEY DON"T HAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS'. I gave them the full part number again, etc. and he repeated NO INSTRUCTIONS. Wow, so tech support could not help out. Hey B&M, REALLY? I also felt the tech support probably never installed one of these either.
4) Product is great quality but I had to cut off 1/2" of the end of the dip stick so it would finally go in. Cleaned the edges, etc. FINALLY went in.
5) While I get I have to figure out where to mount them, I wound up having to build a rubber brace 'angled' so it would fit and avoid the headers. I feel, since B&M pretty much knows we probably have headers, someone there should know the best way to do this and have instructions for mounting -- I figured it out sure, but if someone before me did it, it would have saved me a lot of 'figure this out' time.
6) When you pull out the dipstick, some fluid is wiped off as it comes out -- even though the bends are only 3 very shallow ones -- hard to tell, I had to try a few times until I got a good reading. I'd paint the end a yellow or white so you can really tell the markings.
So, for my 2011 2SS L99 A6 with headers, would I get this again -- sadly no. The instructions quality is lacking and detailed pictures are pretty much unusable. For $125, I'd expect better.
If you folks want a DYI, I'll do it. Let me know.
B&M -- if you log your tech support calls -- you'll see I called about it -- no kidding, your tech support had no instructions to help. He said 'you're the first person to call about issues'. Hummm, I wonder how many bought this and realized it was not what they though and returned it or kept it and did nothing with it?
Not trying to be debbie downer, but you do need to step up your game a bit on this product.
Now, I have the Hurst Shifter/Kit (it had issues) and I also bought your transmission pan for the 6L80 so I do like your stuff. Just THIS one is not what I would expect from B&M..
PM me if you want to discuss what I found and I'll be happy to help you out so the next version is more useful to install.
