Default Everything is possible, but you are better of getting a new car...

You'll need tranny, ECU, clutch and all the little things...
Will run you bout 5000 with labour if you get a good deal.

Default This is about the silliest thing I've ever heard...

What on earth is the advantage of doing this over simply trading in your automatic A4 for a manual A4?

Default I agree

Just sell your car and get a 5spd.

Things like clutch, flywheel, interior parts all cost money, plus install will never be as good as factory build. You'll end up spending more then if you would sell yours and get a 5spd -- Trust me.

I will second that - it is not cost effective and the risks of unforseen problems
