Question auto conversion

My question is this, what are my options for making my automatic transmission into a slapstick style. Transmissions really aren't my thing and i have herd of this system. What i got from it is that its an auto clutch but gears can be changed by pushing the shifter forward or back. Or does it make more sense to just get a stall kit or a good torque converter.
I would have loved to have gotten a six speed but its clear that they are rare and therfor more expensive. Automatic trans just gets borning.
Also if there is suck a thing, how much is it and how hard is it to install
(Don't worry, i have people to help me install it if necessary, combined we will get it done)

Did you want to keep the 4L60E and convert that to a "slapstick" or get a different tranny and do it? If you were going to keep the 4L60E I would get a good torque converter.

I would keep the stock 4L60E due to funds. Are the aftermarket torque converters really worth the money?

Yes, torque converters are the best mod for an A4, you NEED to get a tranny cooler too though, so if you get a new one don't forget that or your tranny is going to be toast.
