Switching From Auto To Manuel

Im looking at an '02 Coupe with 20,000 on the clock with an auto, but i was really hoping to find something like this with a manuel trans. What would it take to swap one in. Whats the most difficult part. Or should i just keep looking for that right vette with the 6spd already in it. Any advice would help.
Thanks-Trevor

from what ive read about switching from an a4 to an m6... it really is not worth the time/money/effort.. most will say just get an m6.. which i can agree with. i to have an auto.. and wish i waited for a m6 to roll around..

I think it would only be worth if if you bought a car that had a bad transmission in it. Otherwise you'd be chopping up a perfectly good A4 car.

Be patient grasshoppa.

It seems like when you are shopping there are 10 automatics for every one manual out there, but just keep looking.

You're going to turn your car into a Mexican?

I'm not familiar with this type of transmission. Is the tranmission made in Mexico or another hispanic country? Is that why it is called "Manuel" ?

Just kidding.........couldn't pass it up
