We got that model with a 114hp VM Diesel in it as standard with a 5sp. Later models seem to be auto only and due to the Merc / Chrysler tie up used 3.0 Merc sixies but with auto only.

Test drove a Cherokee model from the same era with the same gearbox / engine combination but the bouncy ride and rear seat head/leg room ruled it out.
