https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/234551703884430 Until now, I was unaware that a domestically sold 2006 KJ with 3,7L V6 could be had with a manual 5 speed. I have seen 4 bangers with the manual but not the V6. Is the CRD the only engine with no manual option? |

I suspect you can get manuals in the 3.7 as well. Maybe you need to look at what they have in Canada. |

I'm aware of the offshore possibilities, but I'd never seen a domestic factory set up until this one. I'm guessing it's from a military person returning stateside, and managed to bring it along, but not sure. |

Probably a 6speed and its a typo, or he doesn't use 1st gear (mostly redundant with stock tires and street driving). |

The XJ diesel was a 5 speed & a very strong box. The 6 speed is not as strong & I know of people replacing it with a 5 speed. The KJ CRD is torque limited to reduce gearbox failures. |
