Default Auto to manual trans swap?

I was wondering if its possible to do an auto to manual trans swap on my 97 a4 2.8. Instead of rebuilding my auto id much rather swap it over to a manual but from what ive heard the crank needs to be swapped? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks i was reading through it but mines a 2.8 does it all apply the same from the 1.8t to the 2.8? Such as grinding down the crank and all.
