[s-cars] Some info for those wanting to swap to a B5 S4 6-speed

[Gabriel Caldwell]

I was not aware of that, I looked in ETKA but I didn't not see that part
of the system.  In terms of real world results we know that Elijah
survived a crash that pushed the transmission back 4" with no procon ten
bracket.

Actually no.  the 95 S6 has a pre-tensioning system too.  It's
explosive instead of mechanical.

But I didn't intend a personal attack by my "re-engineering" comment. 
I'm just voicing my opinion that as a DIY mechanic, I would not
consider myself qualified to make the determination if such a system
was necessary or how it needed to be attached.
