Well I know it's definitely more complicated than I made it sound, but at the same time, making a manual out of a DCT is not a clean sheet design, like it would be if the car has a torque converter planetary automatic.
And again, Porsche made the PDK and manual work. I don't think there is a significant size difference between the two transmissions.
