I did the stop and go for a while, it sucked yes, but the other 90% of the time I drove my car, I would hate to have an auto. For the price of a swap, you might be able to pick up a beater for your daily commute.

I've done a A4-M6, which is the simpler of the two, cause you don't need to swap the wire harness.

I was talking about swapping both wire harness, trannys, cutting the holes for the shifter and master cylinder, etc. Basically the swap for both car (A4-M6 & M6-A4). If you could do all that in 8 hours with one knowledgeable helper, than my hat is off to you.
