Default b6 1.8t transmission swap

If i were to have a 2000 A4 1.8tQM, would it be possible/easy to swap a b6 1.8t transmisson in?

both are Quattro.

Why? Their gearing is even higher than B5, IIRC.

by higher, you mean Taller?

if thats the case, even better... lowers the Highway RPM


also, i would be adding power to 300+HP, so Taller gearing is nice anyways.

Default I dont think anyone has figured it out yet

i really want the 6sp but have no idea how to figure out if it will work. And, I dont see it being a cheap tranny.

By higher I meant it revs higher (shorter gearing).
