I would sell the car and get an auto before I did that. Not sure if that is remotely practical.

Yes, anything can be done with enough time and money but it would be a major PITA and might cost $20K after all the components and electronics were changed out. The chance that stuff would never work quite right is also pretty high. Trade your car for a PDK and never look back.

Doing the conersion for $20k would be a bargain. Trade in the car towards a 2009+ PDK.

You could, but you won't. Don't give up. Everyone should learn to drive a standard shift. I bought my teenage daughter a standard shift Jeep when she got her first vehicle and we taught her to drive it. Get a driving coach to take you out, every European can do it - you can too.
