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

I don't drive like a granny either

 

I have about 90l on my automatic. It slips once in awhile.

 

never had a problem with my tranny so far... im coming up on 76k, it runs like its brand new

 

sorry I thought you meant any transmition, (my is manual)

 

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.

 

have a 97 with 97k miles. Shifts a bit jerky between 1st and 2nd but I think it is normal???

 

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 )

 

my 99 SE-L just hit 30K miles, no problems yet :-D yes.. 30K

 

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.

 

^^ohh and i got 203K and i have an exedy clutch in the trunk i've had no need for :-D

 

jap cars rule!! my dads camry reached 300k yesterday and its has original engine and tranny. as for my max, its got 137,xxx and there is only a very very very slight grinding going into 3rd, and it only does it when i accelerate fast it seems.
