Default Can an A6 Avant be fitted with an manual tranny?

I'm thinking of selling the A4 Avant and buying a A6 avant but I need a manual. I think I saw something about this once but I can't recall. Has anyone heard of or done this?

Default Call AMS. They might have done one on an S8 by now.

Costs big bucks. Sensors, fire-wall mods, peddle box. They did mention that it was do-able though.

Default Possible plan B...

What about an allroad? It's an A6 Avant with a 6-speed (and you get the 2.7T engine as a bonus :-)

Default I looked seriously at an allroad but I don't need the suspension.

I.d prefer a sportier ride

Default Sportier ride?? and you're looking at an A6 Avant???

The allroad is much "sportier" than the Avant. No one really "needs" any of these Audis, but sometimes excess is nice. If you want a sporty wagon and don't mind it being somewhat small in the back seat, get the S4 Avant---nice, nice, nice.
