 If this is true than I am at a loss on what year car to get the manual
 transmission out of.  Are the manuals easy to find or is it just easier to

no, the 5 speed NA were available, just all the 5k turbos were auto's until 
'86.
 i used to own a '86 5kT, 5 speed, non quattro.  also had a friend w/ a '84 
5k NA wagon, 5speed.
