i actually have done this procedure to 6 cars one of them being my own there are a ton of parts and labor, if the customer doesnt supply the ecu the prices start at 4600 and go up from there, this is not at all an easy task, the trick is to convert the wire harness to be compatible. my # is by my locatin icon

i've researched this and the whole job can easily cost 4K+

I think that is one reason why a good amount of FDs selling nowadays are AT. The owners really want to get a 5-speed but wont' say

If you have a camera, snap some shots as you go along and do a little write-up for anyone interested in the future.

I asked Quaife about their Sequential 6 in my C4 and they quoted me 9000 with recomended dealr install with labor. I think it's a good deal for somebody with money. But, they said they wouldn't recomend it for street cars since the gearbox is for " racing" only.
