I'd like to replace my Passat TDI with a turbo diesel MB at some point. But I really want a manual transmission. Since this combo seems to be rarer than hen's teeth here in the US, I'm wondering about a transmission swap. I'm guessing cost would be a couple $k. Anyone have any info on doing this to a w124? w210? Or even a w211? All the 211's I've seen in europe were automatics! Do they even sell a manual 211?
