What would be involved in converting a B5 1.8t from manual to auto, other than an transmission, radiator with cooler lines (?), and shifter? would it require a different flywheel or custom adapter, a different ecu (and tcm harness?), brake pedal (some relay reconfig)? different mounts? would the...

I was in a hurry and may be I overlooked a few things, but how the hell do you remove the shifter rod from a manual? I removed the knob in 2 secs it was just held together with a one-time clip, but the rod the knob goes into seems to be going inside a plastic tube and I can't for my life budge...
