We got TDi A4s and 6s, though as you said, they weren't terribly popular, and I don't believe manuals were optioned. I'd like to get that 5th and 6th though. Advanced Automotive sells the diesel box here, but for like $2500 USD, which seems very pricey for a unit that isn't new OE. Axles and propshaft are a non-issue.
I went to my local Audi last week, here is what I found out. They no longer make the master cylinder for A8, and there is no stock left in Germany.

Part number-----Description-----VAG stock-----Price £
4D1721401------master cylinder-----0---------£231
811907343B-----clutch pedal sensor--5--------£16.01

They could not find the part number for the clutch pedal, so I'll try to find a different part number. Also I already have a printout for some of the smaller parts, I'll try to find that tonight.

What to do about the master cylinder. I located 2 on German ebay. one is priced ridiculously,

The other one is very reasonable but no picture,
