Ok i hope all of this helps.
First off. A lot of people seem to forget that you need to convert your shifter mechanism to a 6 speed or to save a few bucks when adding a sixth gear to remove the mechanical rev lockout in our a3 trans. Either way or else you run into not being abke to shift directly from 5-6.
I do my own trans work now but initially when i had someone else do this it ran $300 so if that helps.
Depending on your setup and if you do a lot of hwy driving you might want to check out a fd swap as well. I went with the 4.3 over our stock 4.7. Hoping it will even better help with hwy mileage. (Have not put motor or trans back in yet to see just how much). @80 mph with just adding the tsx 6th i went from 4k rpms to 3650-3700.
Just something I figured I would share.
