Default Cheaper to sell the dregs of your car and start with a car that's already a 6sp.

It is completely and utterly not cost effective to retrofit an manual to an auto Audi. There are too many interdependent electronics.

Default It sounds like they got it right after a spell...

If it is less (or not too much more) than a rebuilt or new Tip it would be worth it if they worked out the bugs with the S4. I saw the post above about selling the Auto and buying a 6 Sp and there are some merits to that but then there is the "devil you know" vs the "devil youdon't know".

Default Yeah, should be no problem at all. In fact, I am thinking of doing it to an RS6 ...

somewhere down the line.

Just remember it's going to kill resale.
