[V8] D2 A8 6mt swap?

[Scott DeWitt]

Only the B5 S4 parts will work on the 40V engines, the 32V engines have a different crankshaft bolt pattern meaning you have to use a VERY expensive European only flywheel.

It may be possible to use the B6 flywheel with the 40V engine but the transmissions are different so some experimenting might need to be done.
