I have a 2006 coupe with the automatic transmission paddlle shifting and would like to get a manual. Is it possible to take mine out and put in a manual?

A lot of things are possible, but sometimes the possible is highly impractical from a cost and trouble perspective...this one falls into the impractical category. The better answer is to make a good trade for a C6 that started life as a manual transmission car.

I agree, it would be better to sell your car and buy a used C6 that has a manual. Most people (not on this forum) want the A6, you shouldn't have trouble selling your car.
