Problem being the bellhousing bolt-pattern - all the stuff is available in the manual trans gasser(patooie!) KJ's, but the bellhousing and flywheel is specific to the 2.8L engine - the 4.7L V8 and Hemi uses the same identical 5spd 545RFE trans, and the bellhousings interchange amongst them, but not us - find a bellhousing and flywheel and everything else can be boneyarded - you'll need the left-hand drive pedals and stuff from an American KJ, anyway
Bell housing is the same between the 2.8MT and the 3.7MT.
The 02-04 MT trans is the NV3550, found in the 00+ XJ, 00+ TJ etc. The bellhousing is different between the XJ/TJ and the KJ. The 05+ KJ uses the Mercedes sourced NSG370 6 speed, it has an integrated bellhousing, if you want to use the 6speed you need to source one from a 05+ KJ.
The expensive part is the dual mass flywheel, and clutch. Those would need to be purchased overseas. Currently there seems to be no way to order export parts in the US despite this being the country of origin.
