Auto is getting boring, and i think putting a stick in would wake the car up. i have a 01 ws6. and i would lose more money by buying a new one so this is my only route. let me know what u guys think. Its gonna cost me 2000 for New parts which is the only way im goin. Should the 2000 go towards parts to juice up the auto, or go to the 6 speed.

It wont "wake it up". It will however be more fun to drive around town. Its all a persnal preferance issue but I love my M6

Yes, Yes and Yes. It was well worth the conversion that I went through. It is awesome rowing gears again

It cost me around $2600 to do rear gears and a T56 swap. I got a 32,000 mile transmission, pedals, switches, crossmember used and everything else new from the dealer.

It's a whole new car, it sounds different, it feels like the chassis is going to drive itself out from under the body when I really get on it.

I just did the conversion about a month ago and its been great. If you love drag racing at the track , then keep the auto. If you like anything else go with the M6. I will admit that I will miss having a stalled automatic that could launch like a champ. But again. you can launch an M6 like a champ if you have the parts to handle it.

Or if you go with a nice built tranny and a good clutch, you can look at 3K plus which is what I did. In my case I needed a Drive shaft and a 12 bolt to so the price was pretty substantial . I was an A4, now an M6, and I have a trans braked A3 ready to go in now. For the track and traffic, the auto rules. For fun and freeway runs, the M6 is the ticket.

I would imagine you could sell it and pick up a M6 but these cars are gettin hard to find in good condition

My thoughts exactly.

If you really want an M6 that bad, I say go for it. Just be aware of what the pros and cons are before you go through with it. If the pros outweigh the cons, then swapping in a T-56 is for you.

I did mine in November. It cost me about $2400 all together with a new ls6 clutch and parts with 30k miles. And its so much funner at the track banging those gears. Worth every damn penny

That's why I got rid of my last car, I was bored with the a4. I thought about the conversion, but I wound up just getting rid of it for my current car. No regrets.

I did mine about 2 years and a couple of months ago, I am not great at drag racing with a stick(yet). I think about it everytime I go to the track(2-3times a year) I could be in the 11's with a Auto, but I love driving my car every chance I get since its been a 6-speed.
I would warn you that I (maybe some others too) broke the stock 10 bolt 1 month after the swap.
so that added another 2500 to the car then I replace my T56 with a new built D&D T56 so there is another 2400 it goes on and on

Hell,I put one in my Impala, and despite it being a bit more coin than what you have to spend, it is well worth it!

Swap the the 6-speed. You are totally missing out driving a fun car.

Correct me if Im wrong...but it seems that you just need some reassurance that you are doing the right thing.
If YOU want the M6 then do it. I have a BLAST with mine. Granted clutch issues are a pain in the ****** ***, it is still really fun to have more control over your car.
