If you want a manual, sell yours and buy a manual. It's not even worth considering the cost to do it. not even a little bit.

Search feature at the top - you'll find quite a few posts about it. Cliff notes version - save some money and sell your car and buy a manual.

what year is your car? it will determine how much money youre going to be spending to do the swap. And it will cost less to swap in a trans then to buy a manual car. I'm in the process of swapping in a 2.8 trans into mine

You need a clutch assembly.


I've heard that the crankshafts for autos and manuals are different as well, so you're going to need a new car pretty much. Don't worry about swapping out trannys.

yup the cranks are different. it would cost a crapload to convert everything. you could sell your a4 and buy another one and save a few thousand bucks
