Tell me why you cannot take a manual transmission out of a Crossfire Limited and have it installed into the SRT6? I would think all that needs to be done is cut a hole in the floor board for the shifter, etc, & etc. Where is the hang up with having a local shop do it for you, why do people place such a highly over rated magical aura around the Crossfire, it's just another internal combustion powered car - I know I love my Crossfire also, so yes I KNOW - ... but what if I wanted to drop a MB V8 into my Crossfire, what’s to keep me from pulling out my box of Mac hand tools and air wrenches and just getting it done?

I say stop by your local shade tree and ask around, I'm sure some one with a set of hot (just gott'em for Christmas) set of jack stands, and transmission jacks would be more then glad to fix you up. Heck I’d do it for half of the price you quoted, but all the pizza and beer I could eat and drink.

hooah
