96 5 Speed SE, bought the car and the tranny was dying (96K), the guy who had her before me was bad driver with the car.

now at 106,xxx and tranny going good, but if it goes again (hopefully not knock on wood) I'm going with a LSD.

99 SE-L with 54k, auto, runs strong

95 GLE with 174k, auto, runs just as strong

120K and running great

Does anyone think that all those bolt ons (intake, y-pipe, straight pipe, etc) put any additional stress on the tranny and/or engine?

110,000 K needed new clutch and at 215,000 still running strong. I tow over 2000 lbs. of atvs about 3500 miles a year. The towing really burns up my clutch.

I think it's funny how few miles most of you have on your cars. I don't have many on my new Max... but let's go through the tally of Nissans that we've had:

1987 Maxima - 260k Miles and still kicking - no transmission fixes really needed

1994 Pathfinder - 250k Miles and was still kicking until an uninsured ***** ran into me in her ugly-*** Celica (ugly AND old..... both her and the car)

1996 Maxima GXE - 150k Miles no problems whatsoever

1995 Maxima GLE - 137k Miles no problems whatsoever

1995 Maxima GLE - 113k Miles no problems whatsoever

oh... all are autos ( and the pathfinder is and will always be my favorite Nissan automobile *edit* take that back, the 300zx and the 350z are way cooler but I'm 6'7" and still growing... I don't think I'll fit )

Yup.

A huge % of my friends from high school are still driving their '95 maximas with a million miles and no problems.

Not once in the time I've owned this car have I dropped the trans into first or something. Only races are on interstate and it stays in 3rd regardless.
