2015 Audi B8.5 S4 6MT Build - one of the last manuals
A couple years ago I was able to purchase one of the last Audi cars with a 6 speed manual transmission. This was a 2015 B8.5 S4 with 33,000kms. Glacier white with black interior...it was sporty and luxurious. When warranty was up we would add a Merc Racing Heat Exchanger, Upper Supercharger Pulley, Integrated Engineering Stage 2+ tune which pushed the car from 333hp to 440hp. A catastrophic Dual Mass Flywheel and Clutch failure netted the car some downtime during Covid while waiting for parts. While down we upgraded to a Southbend Stage 3 Daily Clutch with LWFW. We would also add JHM, CTS Turbo and CTS parts. Test pipes, relocated High Flow Cats, crossover and mufflers to give the car an exotic tone. That was 2 years ago Putting low miles on my car from 2017, the input shaft bearing on the transmission also was failing but wasn't caught at the time. Getting worse with time and mileage...it's back down in the shop but we'll get the bearings replaced and get this rare S4 up and running soon. Here are pics and vids of the build.....

CTS Cold Air Intake...this helps to add the Supercharger whine which is intoxicating:
