why? is that for the clutch?

sorry im kinda new to all the car modding and stuff, since this is my first car, and i dont really know that much about cars in general, let alone audis

 

no the clutch is mounted inbetween the engine and trans, the bigass hole is needed for the shifter assembly and all that jazz

 

oh...do u know of anyone that has done a conversion like that? cuz i wanna know if its worth it or not

and about the hole, will it get patched up or do u just like put the carpet over it? haha

 

i dont know of anyone thats done it...its pretty cost ineffective i would just live with the auto, still got a damn nice car

and the hole would need to be made bigger if you put a manual trans in it i think on the manual trans the shift plate on top of the trans seals the hole up well, and your console will cover it all anyway

 

how much do u think it would be? im just wondering if i ever want to actually change it, since by what u guys are telling me, its better to just keep the auto

 

i have no idea, heres some of a parts list
manual transmission
clutch
flywheel
clutch pedal assembly
manual transmission ecu
manual transmisson console
manual transmisson gauge set (im on not mistaken there is a gear indicator on the gauge panel for the suto trans)
thats probably only a small amout of the stuff you need
a few grand easy maybe upwards of 5 depending on parts

if you really have your heart set on a manual just hold onto yours and keep looking then trade yours in for it, or sell yours then get it

a nice 5 speed car can be had for your price
i paid 7000 for my 99.5 1.8 quattro 5speed

how many miles are on your car ?

 

my car has 96000, idk my dad paid for it, so idk if mine was a good deal or not...

 

you didnt get hurt on the deal...thats probably about right for your car.. welcome the the family

 

how many are on ur car? cuz u got urs for cheaper, so im assuming it had more miles?

 

I'm with you, I have Tiptronic in my A4 and I wish it was 5 speed but its not worth the costs and labor to convert it. Just use the Tiptronic all the time.
