Just curious about the longevity of Maxima's Manual transmission. Please respond if you own/owned a 4th gen manual.
1) Year, current mileage
2) Mileage at first rebuild or clutch replacement (fluid change excluded), and cost
3) Mileage at second rebuild or clutch replacement, and cost
I own 2 Maximas, both manual:
1) 1995 SE, 188Kmiles
2) 90K, Clutch replacement $350
3) none
1) 1995 GXE, 110K
2) None, still on original clutch

1) Replaced clutch at 62K with Centerforce Clutch. ($150 labor)
Still running strong... just waiting on my Redline MT fluid to arrive. Centerforce has not slipped once.

2. I bought a new clutch for 150$ (stock, lifetime)
3. Still lookin for a transaxle (quates of 800-1000 used)

'98 107K...still running the original stock clutch/tranny with no slippage. Just a slight groan during clutch release in first gear when cold.
I also have about 80 1/4 mile runs on this clutch.
