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

I also have about 80 1/4 mile runs on this clutch.

Original clutch and transm. It might be slipping some, but not badly at all, especially when warm.
