Personally, I think your better off time-wise and financially just buying one already manual transmission. Unless you have already done this before, you will only run into problems.

its not that hard i've done 3.

S5 and S4 trans swap is the same.

might waint to consider gettting an turbo 2 driveline so if you T2 swap later your drive lines already set.

As rereme said... I found that the hardest part was fabricating a bracket to mount the manual tranny on to the auto frame. i would highly subject to buy a bracket (Like rereme is selling) and cut down time,money and hassle of fabricating your own..
