S4 and S5 auto trannies, HELP!
Are they directly interchangeable, or are they different. Please someone with knowledge on this help me out.

No. The S5 auto is electronic and requires its own ECU. And it also has a bunch of other things like a kick down switch.

lol
I'm trying to sell my S4 one, and just found out the person has an S5 car. If you still have your S5 auto tranny, PM me and I'll forward you to the person.
