Are you talking about from like a Acura (just an example) If you can't get your hands on a Maxima tranny, then you could try an Inifiniti i30 I believe years 96-99 ..

Nissan Altima's trannies are actually the EXACT same part number from 1992-1997 as the 4th Gen Maxima's tranny.

But noone's tried it yet. Why don't you.

There's something different between them like the size of a shaft or main axle or something. I looked at doing that last year and something just didn't match up.
