Re: Mikewire's Audi A4 Avant 5 speed swap
More work last night.
Ended up picking up a trans jack - just a basic one from Harbor Freight. Worked great
Trans strapped in and ready to go under the car:

Up in the tunnel and mated to the motor:

Removing the auto sub frame supports:


Sub frame ready to go in:

Holding the subframe up with a couple of jacks:

Bolted in and torqued to spec:

After getting it installed I was able to get the slave cylinder installed and hooked up, then I bled the brakes and clutch with some new Pentosin Super Dot 4 fluid. Clutch feels really smooth!

Mike is deceptively mechanical, and humble about this jedi wrenching.

Whats the oily mess on the passenger side?
It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.

Power steering rack. I'm limping it along until I finish up the swap. Maybe I'll replace it next summer, dunno. Needs a control arm replacement first.
