If in the case somebody got a hold of a manual tranny TD 100, there would some useful parts... pedals, shifter, clutch hydraulics, brackets, center console, etc.

Yes but you guys don't get the manual transmisionss so I haven't worried about commenting on them. The main concern I have is total plug and play. (meaning just plug it in to your existing harness and away you go, that's how I'd like it to be)
Your main harness is the same as ours "probably", I haven't checked, but how the ECU and plug in sub-harnesses use the wiring is another matter. (I'd love to help out in the conversion, then again bring a US rig to OZ and lets do it here!)

Yeah some people with droop have a soft time getting to the job at hand.
In the good ole USA you buy what you want. Enjoy your smelly POC diesel engines.[/quote]Yep, a certain percentage of folks in the good ole USA do what they want, and stick their head in the sand, and make things worse for the rest of the population of the world and their close neighbors in the street and their children (including their own children and grand kids) but unfortunately they have the right to be like that in the good ole USA.
