tranny.. what would you do??? -_-a
if you where to rebuild your tranny... what would you do? right now im thinking of trading my max in or rebuilding the transmission, but i need new clutch and gears i believe... the problem i have right now is... my stick/shift *** doesnt go back to the middle... the clutch grinds from 2-3 shifts... and my car jerks alot when moving/accelerating....
i dont have enough money to get a rebuilt one.. so im gonna rebuilt certain parts.... would i be able to get a vlsd or lsd for my 99 max? decisions decisions.....

I would install a limited slip unit from a 2001 Maxima, like this one I found on www.car-part.com:
2001 Nissan Maxima
Transmission
M.T., lckng diff (20th anniversary edition)
L2157
$700.07
Brims Imports Auto USA-OH(Kenton)
brim_imports@hotmail.com
1-419-675-1099
$700 is a steal for this transmission.

you missed a good deal on an Exedy Stage 1 Performance... but if you wait a bit, PJ (maxxtuningUSA) might come up with another deal on other clutches.

ACT seems to be the best bang for the buck from what I hear. I'm running a Centerforce Dual friction which works just fine for me. If you wanna go insane, Clutchmasters sells some pretty bada$$ clutches. There's also Exedy and Rev Lock but I have no info on those.

Will the 2001 tranny bolt up to a 1995? (Same block, right? - I'm not sure on this).
Also, when did you find this specific tranny?
Know if it's still available? (it wasn't returned in the search results @ www.car-part.com, although they had one listed at $1,000)
Thanks.

Re: tranny.. what would you do??? -_-a
All of the symptoms you list here sound just like a bad clutch and binding release bearing. Is your clutch slipping to cause jerking around? Do the gears grind all the time from 2-3?
When shifting from 2-3 is the clutch all the way in or are you
quick shifting?
If you do in fact have bad synchro's causing your gears to grind you can get another 25-30k out of your tranny by relacing the gear oil with 30 to 50 weight motor oil and adding some of that teflon stuff.
This is an old BMW tranny fix....
Whatever you do... don't trade in your max. Sell it to one of the many MAX fanatics privately if you aren't going to keep it.

To add insult to injury, one of my CV boots just started failing, so I'll be $replacing$ that, too. Too bad - so sad.
No love from the Max these days. . .she's being a total be-otch.

Check with him. I don't remember the exact price, but it was waaaay cheaper than I've seen them anywhere else. Price was close to his cost.
Good luck.
