As Tireiron stated, the only hiccup with the 08+ 6MT's is the lack of a speed sensor, however a quick and cheap fix is this ABS to VSS signal converter.
http://mapdccd.com/vss.html Just splice a handful of ABS wires at the computer under the passenger seat and tap the signal into the VSS wire on the ECU and done. It's about a 1 hr job with the hardest part being removing the seat and pulling the carpet up and re-installing. HAHA
I for the longest time tried sourcing an 07 due to the taller gearing and the benefit of the speed senor, however they were all 90K and above. I ended up going with an 08 6MT, 78K miles.
