You should get the DCT.:thumbup::thumbup:

Oh wait, maybe they will retrofit a PDK for you.

They have to retrofit the DCT before they can install the Manual. Read the TIS.

They will make you pass a GED before they retrofit the DCT.

I think there's a coding project for this. You will need to clip in an extra pedal but there's a kit from Tischer-Price.

Yes but you have to retrofit the M engine too. The dealer should be able to install a package for you.

Since the Steptronic is a six speed and the DCT is a 7 speed the warranty Steptronic to DCT transmission swap only covers the first six gears and you will be charged extra for 7th gear.

Might as well have them do an S65 swap to fully enjoy that shiny new DCT. Best way to do this is:

1. Drain all oil from existing engine.
2. Drive to dealership.

You may want to preorder a flatbed.
