Pre-Facelift S8 Manual Conversion?

[Dezzy]

I don't agree, i don't think that a manual conversion is in the realms of most peoples home workshop / garage. Unless the car is a toy and can be sat doing nothing for months until it’s complete. If you took it somewhere to have the work done then cha ching. Just the parts alone and the time spent sourcing of them is a job in it’s self.

How many times will an 8 have a recon autobox? They seam to last about 100k so say 200k on the car when you may need a second replacement would it be worth doing then?

That said I’m really looking forward to seeing one of you guys doing it as i think it’s an awesome project and hats off to you sir. But i don’t think it’s the way to go for the majority.
