You can do it but lots needs to be changed, would be better to pick up a doner car or sell yours and buy a auto.

it's possible but converting auto to manual is a hell of a lot easyer TBH,  auto's tend to have lots of braketry and small fiddely bit that arn't required or found on a manual.

basicly you need auto box, starter, shifter, shift cabels, pedal box, torque converter, starter ring, and kickdown cabels and brakets also likely throttel body and  possobly even loom or do some loom mods
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
