Talking Finally finished my swap...almost.

Finally, I'm almost done. Huge thanks to the authors of the writeups on the swap. Made it possible, painfull as hell, but possible. Why did they put so much extraneous **** on the S5 automatic. I've got so many ******* loose wires and **** hanging down it's pathetic. Still I finally got everything taken care of except for my interior. Drove the 7 back from the workshop tonight. 30 miles with no boot over the shifter and an exhaust leak.

Smelled like victory.

Tomorrow gonna go back under and check bolts to make sure they are tight and that my brace is holding. Any recommendations on other stuff to look out for? Thanks guys.
