Hi, I'm new here so I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong section, I want to buy a 2012 Dodge Charger, since I live in Iraq there are no "official" dealers or any conventional dealers of any kind, so I want to know how to differentiate between the 8 speed and 5 speed transmission because I want an 8 speed version of the car with the v6 engine, I know that the SXT has the 8 speed as a standard and the SE has it as an option with the 5 speed as a standard, due to a bit rarity of Chargers here I might not have the option to get an SXT, so if someone tells me how to differentiate that would be great, thanks in advance
You can tell by the shifter, the 8-speed has that stubby little one with barely any range of motion and the 5-speed looks like your average shifter with the normal range of motion and all the slots.
