Default S8 six speed manual

my gearbox is playing up a bit now so thought i,d look into my options,
I've had a few quotes from TPS, huddersfield Audi, both around 4k plus vat for a exchange gearbox like Niels. and quote from chester and a good local firm tameside transmissions, spoke to ZF the idiot who answered tried to send me to euro car parts when i was after a full gearbox rebuild kit or the price of a new box. I've yet to speak to mackies.
but what about the manual conversion that nobody ever seems to finish in RHD there are plenty of 01E gearbox's about now at reasonable money. I'm a bit stuck on the flywheel and clutch do i need a s8 manual one or will a s4 one work OEM or TTV Racing? gearbox mounts are they available? part numbers?
can i Gather the required parts easily. the clutch pedal arrangement that Goran worked so hard on looks like the best bet. propshaft would probably be custom as OEM over priced.
what are your thoughts fellow owners?
cheers Dave
