I agree. There is nothing preventing dodge from putting a manual transmission into the charger if they REALLY wanted to do so. Ive seen a street driven VW bug with a 454 chevy and 4-speed...anything can be made to fit anything, but you have to consider the cost of the changes needed compared to the demand for the application. will enough people buy a 300, magnum, or charger to justify stocking the extra parts/modifying the vehicles to accept the extra parts? I would guess not. its shocking how few people can drive a stick.
