Been reading up on this, aren't the stock S6/S8 steering wheels already equipped with +/- buttons?

am I correct that the paddles are just easier to use but their function is essentially the same as the +/- already on the steering wheel?

        Yes, exactly. You can manually change gear with the button wheel in D or S if the TCU is recoded  -  -TJ_c5's  2016-12-06 21:11:50 (281 views)
        
        when I had the buttons I had to shift into the tiptronic gate..never had to do that with the paddles  -  kinderutz  2016-12-06 20:58:34 (240 views)
      - also use Valvoline Max-life Dex-Merc ATF...$17.87 @ walmart for the big jug   -  kinderutz  2016-12-05 11:24:24 (263 views)
        
        ALMOST did that but opted for the Febi stuff as a precaution. Have successfully used it in the past   -  ImQuattro�  2016-12-05 16:42:14 (224 views)
        
        I've been using it for ~8 years with nothing but great results, it's going in my C6 soon.   -  kinderutz  2016-12-06 21:00:28 (242 views)
- C5 4.2 block should give you the same fitment; I'm using a few C5 conversion parts - TwoSeven 2016-12-02 06:47:54 (282 views)
  - Buying a 2.7t 6MT parts car is a great way to get nearly everything you need for the swap. - ThetaTau87 2016-12-02 12:09:36 (297 views)
    - Agreed, but only if you plan to rebuild a beat-ass trans yourself. - TwoSeven 2016-12-02 12:17:52 (293 views)
      - Both the parts cars I bought had good transmissions. One had 100k the other had over 200k. - ThetaTau87 2016-12-03 00:17:03 (267 views)
        
        Wow, you got lucky there - most of the ones I see have seriously fubar 1st and 2nd gear issues. - TwoSeven 2016-12-03 12:48:19 (246 views)
  - Thanks Sam, Yeah the D2 S8 conversion went really smoothly with "lots" of room compared to the C5 - ImQuattro� 2016-12-02 12:08:46 (299 views)
    - No prob, also talk to stuklr on here about a custom ECU, one of the trickiest parts. - TwoSeven 2016-12-02 12:14:13 (228 views)
