Pre-Facelift S8 Manual Conversion?

[Goran]

I bought a manual S8 gearbox from Germany (ebay) last year. They are (were?) crazy cheap, I could have had it for 250 euros but waited too long, and when he re-advertised it someone else bid on it too so it went to 500 euros.

However, as others have pointed out there's a ton of other bits to get, and I wouldnt even know who to go to for a manual conversion.

I just read Tozo's second conversion, its good to know its possible and that it works.
