After almost 6 months of trying to sell my car and searching for a good 5-speed; I have found relief. I bought Swafford's 98 Maxima. This is my first 5-speed car and it took a little to get used too but it's DEFINATELY worth it. I cannot stress enough the NIGHT and DAY difference between an auto and a 5-speed. 3rd gear pulls so much stronger and I can bark 2nd HARD. If anyone is thinking about doing what I did(selling their auto for a 5-speed), do it. 5-speeds are hard to come by(especially a reliable one), but are lots of fun to drive and there's ALOT more power.

 

Congrats man. How much did you find it for?

 

I found this one for a little over $8k.

 

Congrats! Yeah thats what i did...i used to have a 96 gxe auto...then i sold it and found myself a 96 gxe 5spd...JEEZ i love it....It took forever to find it..but, it is well worth it, changing from a auto to a 5spd..I got lucky on mine...i bought like 3weeks ago and i bought it for $4500 with only 87000miles on it...the car is in great shape and running strong..

 

Hope you enjoy it. Just be sure to take good care of her
all i can say..... They dont call it the "Factory Freak" for nothing!!

 

It's alot faster than I initially thought!! My buddies Eclipse is going to be toast!! The OIL light keeps flickering on and off though...what should I do?
