I believe Renntech does...
Albeit it's very expensive, like $25,000 expensive (Or there abouts). I checked their website, and the manual transmission option is no longer listed, but I imagine that they can still do it...
Personally, I believe Renntech's prices are nothing short of outrageous. A larger throttle body for a 211 E55 costs an unbelieveable $3995!! For a freakin' throttle body!?!
How about $2495 for a crankshaft pulley kit! Nothing more than a new pulley and a belt.
$4995 for headers...
$3150 for an ECU upgrade where most costs around $1500 at the most...
I imagine that they base their prices on the horsepower per dollar gained, but if a $50 item added 25 horsepower, would they be selling it for $3995?
I know that this is off the subject, but I glanced at their pricing while I was checking to see if they still had their manual trans option, and I just couldn't get over their crazy prices...
Best regards,
Matt

Damn!!
25 g´s for a manual gearbox , 5.000 more and could buy me a 2006 C230.
I don´t like Reentech, i´ve seen that Kleemann haves more developed engine upgrades and I like Carlssons rims
Thanx for the answer
P.S: where can i see Albeits Mods??

I shouldn't have capitalized "albeit"...
