From what I understand the 2.8 CRD in current trim is pressing the existing 6spd manual pretty hard. I think the manual CRD wranglers are detuned to a lower torque?
I'm pretty sure I saw a comment from DH that said the 6spd can handle it just fine, it's the OEM clutch that is the weak point.
Also, the Mopar HEMI kit will "soon" be available with a standard, so there must be something out there that can handle the torque.
