6 Manual Transmission Conversion?
Hey guys, I was just watching Motortrend TV and saw the Chrysler Crossfire. According to the show, the Crossfire shares the same engine as the SLK 320 along with some other technologies. The Crossfire even has a 6 speed manual as standard. I wonder if it is possible to do a transmission conversion on a CLK 320 by using the some transmission parts from the Crossfire. I wonder if we can expect Crossfires to become Kleemanized. That would be kinda scary.
Damn Mercedes if they would only make a manual for the CLK.

No longer car shopping...
Kleemanized Crossfire = SLK32
If you kleemanized a crossfire you would get the SLK32 without the convertable hard top. I was #3 on a waiting list for the crossfire but learned that the first year production would be limited to as few a 2 cars a dealership. I tried to put up a deposit over a year ago but none of the dealers would take it. Bought the CLK55 instead and never been happier (so far)...

CLK 430 coupe
I just purchased a donor 2004 chrysler crossfire with manual 6. I will start the manual conversion on my CLK430 very soon, with lots of pictures. I have not heard or seen one done yet. Wish me luck!

The instagram group clk_drivers posted a silver one a couple months back. If I recall correctly, the guy took a manual transmission from a European e430 and put it in his clk430. looked very nice!
