Ok well, in 2-3 months i will be getting my brothers maxima and im really worried about the bearing in the tranny. I might get it with 98-100k miles and its been well maintained. What are the real chances of the tranny bearing going bad?

The clutch has been replaced
Clutch master and lines are new as well

Im really concern about this Bearing stuff because it seems to go bad 100k. Im just a teen living in NJ and trust me insurance is enough and I dont have $500-$900 to repair this. The car has no problems it runs strong and is maintained to the fullest. All repairs and Tune-ups were done from the Nissan dealer. The car isnt raced, but im just really concern about this.

I know my auto shop teacher will just charge me for the part but I dont trust the other classes around maxi. But hey $50 or $900 saves me a lot but if anything wrong happens to the car then im out of luck. Does anyone know when these bearing do acually go?

Depends on how the car was maintained/treated. Other than that, it's a crapshoot. Like any car you buy. If it's running well now, no reason not to believe it won't run well for many more miles. You can run synthetic gear oil for extra protection if you wish

I have 2 Max, both 95. Current mileage are:

GXE: 105,000
SE: 193,000

Not a single problem with the manual transmission in either car. The SE clutch was replaced at around 100K. The GXE is still on the original clutch.

Go under the car and see if there is any oil leak or free play where the axles insert in the tranny. There shouldn't be at all. Some people also mention whining when engaging a given gear.

I got a 113,000 on my 95 manual tranny, with original clutch, and bearing. No problems what so ever here. Oh except a torn cv boot that's puking black grease on my white car. . oh well reboot kit's only 30 bucks.
