Has anyone looked into converting your CRD into a manual tranny CRD? They make them for the european market so I am guessing that the parts are not impossible to get. If I could change only one thing on my CRD it would be, hands down, the transmission. |

The little torque monster would be fabulous with a manual behind it, no doubt. |

If you wanted to convert your KJ to the MTX version, you would need... -Dual-mass flywheel with clutch/pressure plate -NVG370 six-speed transmission -KJ MTX pedal assembly, clutch hydraulics, etc... -EDC16 engine controller from European KJ MTX -A very nice dealer that will re-program your injector and VIN into the new controller With that said, the BUX (European models) don't use a throttle valve for EGR flow control so the hardware on the engine is slightly different. But...it is possible to pull it off if you have enough money... |

I'll be sure to do this to my CRD once I win the lottery and with my luck it won't be happening anytime soon. I may ask my dealer about it today when I have the ball joint recall done, I'll let ya know if I get laughed out of the shop. |

Again, this is a case where it be easier to sell yours, import a European, and get it to pass inspection in your state? Gotta be cheaper. |

I don't think it would be all that hard to get the inspection in Maryland, they don't do emissions on diesels. At least not that I know of, but this might change with the new EPA regs. |

Unless their is a governmental exemption on the vehicle (i.e. what Chrysler has when it brings vehicles in/out of the country), it will have to pass emissions when it comes through customs unless you have a sneaky way of bypassing those people... |

I doubt the dealer would even think about touching a conversion like that. Not worth it my friend. I mean heck...if you win the lottery, why not just move to Europe and buy one over there...and live like a king
