RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

hi guys and girls,
my names mate i'm 33 years old and about 6 months ago finally brought my dream car a c5 audi rs6 and it has lived up to everything i wanted it to be and sits lovely in my collection but in the words of a man much more famous then me "i have a dream" and that dream is to build a manual c5 rs6.
i know this has been done a few times and i will of course use the search function to find as much info as possible i am tomorrow collecting a 2.7t manual a6 so the easy part is done i've found the doner car.
i would like to speak to anyone uk based that as done this conversion and what adapters and clutch ect was used i found a guy in the usa that makes the kit and seems to have a great reputation but wondered if there was any other options!
anyway i will save the tech talk for later posts just a quick hello i'm matt i'm from bath and i cant wait to get stuck in

Welcome along

Not sure why folk want a manual C5 RS6? I've been in one, yeah it's faster when big snails put on as well, but it's not the type of car to be a manual imo.

There's plenty of info on here and a few different ways of doing it.
Good luck with the build anyway.

Chunky79 is am totally with you. Why would you ? The box is so quick and smooth. If you want to play. You have the paddles option ( or touch option ) imho it’s perfect just the way it is.
But each to his own.
We all have our preferences.

Agreed, auto suits the car well with the tiptronic....however, I can understand why some people would investigate the swap to manual ie. Cadbury's chocolate torque converter. I'm on my third one now and that's showing signs of slipping & overall symptoms of it not being a happy bunny ...if only the 'box from the C6 would fit, they seem to be way more capable of handling the torque...
