Made the floor plate for the B&M Prostick yesterday and mounted the micro switches for neutral safety and reverse lights. Heading out today to bolt that in the floor and install the TH400. Once in place I have to measure and fabricate a spacer to go from the Energy Suspension transmission mount to the original A6 cross member. I don't forsee any issues with the mechanical work but correctly jumping wires so the ECM plays nice without a TCM data signal may get challenging...Guess I'm gonna find out.

Good luck to u Let me know if I can help u guys. Got a cool toy in today from summit A gear indicator system with a nice little l e d box that I can mount. Hopefully in the next few days I won't have to guess what gear I'm in

A picture of the kit. Looks pretty good. Designed to go to Trans linkage but I'm told can hook right up to our shifters

Post up some pic's once you get the shifter installed

LS7 427 · 03-14-2015, 09:04 PM

Got the shifter and transmission in and bolted up. Had a couple of pictures of the shifter and plate on my phone. I'll get some better ones tomorrow. The plate 1/8" aluminum and is 9.5"by 4.5". The holes for the plate are 7.5" on the long side and 2.5" on the width, center to center and will fit in the existing shifter holes.

Looking good

pdiddy · 03-15-2015, 09:08 AM

The pro stick must be a smaller profile then the pro ratchet the ratchet barely fit and I had to actually angle it a little to make it work and not have to cut up my trim piece but it's in.. What jumping wires are u reffering to are u reffering to what needs to be done for backup and neutral safety?? Is your car an original auto or manual

LS7 427 · 03-15-2015, 09:40 AM

The Prostick seems to fit nicely although I havent put the gauge panel trim back in yet. As for the wiring, I was going to ask you to elaborate on how did both the neutral safety switch to the starter solenoid wire as well as the backup lights and sensors. My car was originally an A6 with the 6L80E transmission. That transmission has a harness that plugs into the side of the transmission and I'll need to jump the Canbus wires to complete the data circuit back to the TCM I believe. Once that circuit is complete it should run albeit it will throw several transmission codes that can then be tuned out.

Mines was a manual. There should be two little switches you mount on the side of your pro ratchet( a little note. I had to bend the switch activation arms until they worked properly) backup lights just cut off the factory plug and plug into the one switch. Neutral safety probably do the same if u previously had a automatic . Manual was a little bit more messing around

bcguy · 03-15-2015, 02:01 PM

Check out the new gear selector Looks ok. Only place it would fit. Lots of wires under there now

bcguy · 03-15-2015, 02:03 PM

And I know the interiors a mess. No point in detailing until I'm finished

pdiddy · 03-15-2015, 03:41 PM

Same with the pro ratchet as far as the switches however I had to trim up the shifter frame it self to make the pro ratchet fit it was kind of a pita but looks good now that it's in I like the gear deal looks nice not sure I will do it as I am sure I will get use to knowing what gear pretty quick

bcguy · 03-15-2015, 03:50 PM

I thought that also but then I drove it and was always bringing it down to the stops then bringing it back up to be sure

pdiddy · 03-15-2015, 04:58 PM

Here is mine all buttoned up
