Yeah, there is a guy shipping them to the states from UK, 6 speed was never available in a TDI MKIV in north America, but was/ is a common option in europe, so it's a direct bolt in, with new motor/ trans mounts, differant axles, differeant dust plate, and differant shifter (I got them all).
In Ecomodder dollars it cost a fortune, in normal mod dollars it isn't so bad, but for what it is, it's a steal.
Cost are also be offset by the following factors.
1) I need a clutch, this includes a brand new one
2) I need a starter (overrun) this includes a newer, lower mileage, better designed one
3) my 5 speed is salable
6) my axles might be salable.

No, only thing funny is re-routing the 5 speed clutch lune, or sourcing one from a LHD 6 speed.
Now if I was doing a auto - 6 speed swap I'd need a lot, lot more (lhd)parts.
