now youre talking. Thinking of special ordering a 5 speed manual from the
dealer.

The only problem with doing the swap I have in mind is I dont have another tranny for the turbo engine. the tranny for the turbo engine is different from the non turbo.

Ill do a compression test, clyinder leak test, coolant flush with citrus acid powder, valve adjustment and a diesel purge then make a decision.
