Has anyone ever swapped in a Golf R Manual?

[RoguesGambit]

Just curious, I did a search and really couldn't find the answer, maybe I wrote it wrong, but I'm wondering if anyone swapped out the DSG for the Golf R's Manual, considering they're on the same platform and probably use similar Haldex systems

Gonna be copying and sharing this on the 8V A/S3 forum, see what they say, but earlier I was with my friend and we saw both a TTS and a S3 in the show room and to me, seeing gems like these with no manuals is like an otherwise pretty girl but completely flat :(

If it can be done, how difficult is it, and what would the costs be, since down the line, if I get either, I'll attempt this regardless.

Thanks for looking and have a great evening,

Rogue

Don't forget, in Europe, they come in Manual >.>

So it is possible

Now, I'm assuming it can be done, but I'm wondering the costs

You need the Trans and components from a Euro model, then you gotta ship it to the shop and then while I don't know the specifics, the labor between installing the parts and then changing the ECU or whatever, guessing it's High $,$$$-Low $$,$$$, but if it all works out, gotta unique and sick car

Anyone with experience wanna chime in?

Or just buy a Golf R. That was easy.

Wouldn't be asking if I wanted a R

I'm sure I was a hot rodder in my last life, the challenge appeals to me

I looked into a trans swap on my 12 Avant, it was going be around 10 to 12K, and not easy. With all the electronics, and such. Wiring harness differences.

Just get the DSG flash and run it in manual mode, it won't shift till you shift it after first gear, you can bounce off the rev limiter to your hearts content, you won't miss it.
