That pretty much applies to all PDK/DSG/DCT vehicles. IIRC, it's about $10k to replace the DSG in a B8 S4. (I looked into it because my mom's DSG was slowly on its way out. They ended up selling the car.) So far as I can tell, virtually no one manual swaps those.
Porsche people seem to hate transmission swaps. I mean, tiptronic 993s absolutely cry for a swap. The 4HP22 is completely unsuited to a sports car. And yet, you either get penalized or get no resale benefit from the swap.
...also, I think it's worth noting that a 991 manual swap is not going to be cheaper than a $16k transmission replacement.
