I saw this as a unique opportunity to mate the best gearbox with the best engine.
I started off with great ambition, but gradually slowed down, and now I'm not making any progress, I'm afraid.

I think the question was about a gearbox swap, rather than an engine swap.

Just to confirm, you all are using the bentley adapter to bolt the bentley 8hp90 onto the c6 s6 v10 5.2L (the 2004'?' - 2011) version correct? Yes to the first part. However my interest is with the C6 RS6 5.0 V10 engine, and not the S6 5.2 V10. There are many similarities between them, including th...

I wouldn't be surprised if an R8 seal fitted. I think that's the sort of thing that these engines might have in common.

These links may or may not help a little bit.

Do you still have your car, Ian, I thought you also said the time had come?

I think everyone on this forum would like a guide to this job. Many other people have already posted their experiences of other jobs for the benefit of others. It's a community thing.

I enjoyed watching this drag race video between C8 v C7 v C6, each with a stage 1 tune and about the same power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f04Z2yVglJc There was something wrong with the C7, but the C6 put up a fine fight. I suspect it may have had more torque than the others, which may have he...

You will now be inundated with offers.

Can you post a picture of your bucket seats?

I've been looking for other cars that have replaced the 6HP with the 8HP, and there are several instances, but they've typically used an aftermarket transmission control unit, which is disappointing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5hSrXZ18cA https://turbolamik.eu/ More gratifyingly, a few highly t...

I don't worry about buying pattern brake discs any more. I think manufacturing discs is a problem that's been solved, as long as you buy from a well-established seller that knows they can't get away with selling rubbish. Cheap pads won't do, I generally buy Brembo or Pagid. The problems with brakes ...

Hi Jacob, and welcome to the forum. What is the condition of the brakes? You say they drastically need changing - is that because they're squealing? Is it just the pads that need changing, or is it definitely the discs as well? If you just need to change pads, you don't necessarily need to change th...

I'm impressed that you've got some people who are willing to take this on, though. I don't think this is something that forms part of anyone's job description.
