Very sketchy info here, with three citations at the bottom here; the 
first one looks best:
<http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D1%80%D1%8F%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%8F%D0%B7%D1%8B%D0%BA>
or
<http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Кряшенский_язык>

Here's the citation:
Баязитова, Ф. С. Говоры татар-кряшен в сравнительном освещении / Отв. 
ред. Ф. С. Хакимзянов. — М.: Наука, 1986. — 247 с.


Very sketchy info here, too, with an image of a Kryashen Tatar text 
(looks like two facing pages out of a bible):

And here's a piece more about language policy than about the features of 
the dialect, but it does have some anecdotal stuff about features:
<http://www.academia.edu/4237198/On_the_problem_of_Kryashens_Tatars_and_the_General_Census_of_Population_in_Russia>


This page gives a basic classification within the Turkic language 
family, but little or nothing about features:

or

Hope that helps a little.
