What problems will I have fitting an 05 Liberty CRD auto box into a V6 petrol?

If its a 545rfe it will work.
The 545rfe was used in both the CRD and gasser versions.

Correct, and if I'm not mistaken, gassers had 45rfe not 545rfe (not sure if last was actually in a kj gasser as 545rfe), which as I know it's the same transmission with tcm programmed for 4 speed not 5. Regardless, worse case you'll need a bell housing and maybe different drive shafts (this if gasser had a non 45rfe), I believe sir Sam and tjkj2002 may know exactly the details, I'd pm them.

Would much rather find an engine for the 06 CRD at the right price than cannibalise it to repair an 07 petrol version. Have to jump at wherever option comes up first.

Could I get a manual transmition for a gasser and put it in the crd ?

Plus, if I'm not going all Alzheimer's, the drive shafts may have different length. The costs doing the manual transmission swap would be bigger than getting a rebuilt auto one, I remember this topic being discussed several times in this forum.
