how many miles do you have and did you have any 5 speed tranny problems.because we know some have the problem and some dont. i have 95,500 and no problems so far(knock on wood ) btw i just put in redline mt 90 and i didnt notice any smoother shifting at all.

 

I just got my 96 with 76k miles. No problems at all. From what others tell me it's smooth as butter, how would I know what a 5spd should feel like. There is a leak but it seems that a sensor wasn't put in tight enough so I got that fixed, I hope.

 

My 1995 5spd had a new tranny at about 105,000mi. My dad's 97 5spd had a new tranny around 60-70,000mi, but the car did have a turbo, so that probably had something to do with it.

 

141,000 miles, using ACT street since 105k. No problems. using Napa GL-4 gear oil.

119,000 no problems to speak of yet

 

163,500 miles the only thing i replaced was the clutch last summer. It still shifts smooth.

 

My 97 I30T has 108k (that means 108,000) on it. i just put valvoline in it when I changed the clutch to exedy. Now it shifts like there is a pillow between my gears, even got 3rd gear to chirp....yeah, greatest car in the world...

 

My 5spd 96 max has 105k and no problems yet... And I hope to keep it that way, so I'm keeping a watchful eye on the tranny

 

142000 miles on mine and I have the skateboard noise from my transmission. I'm pretty sure it's a input gear. I don't believe it will affect anything for now so I'm not worried.

 

no problems here! 96k

 

125k so far no problems

 

My 95 Maxima SE has 122k miles and no problems. It had a new clutch at 96k miles, and a clutch master a bit before that. No problems and no odd noises. I'm going to switch to Redline gear oil though.

 

135,000 miles replaced transaxle w/VLSD new, car lost carrier bearing (twice) since 100,000 miles.

 

I am putting a 5spd tranny from a 97 with 60k on my 95 GLE... I pray to god that it is diffy bearing problem free...


So none of you have had the differential bearings crap out on ya??

 

113k miles 2 act street/strip clutches but back to stock & no problems.

 

2 blown tranny's with act clutch stage 2 i think. but im sure it was the supercharger.

 

117,00 and just ran into the tranny problem. 1st gear syncho is gone. Will be replacing next week if i can find a tranny with 60K or less miles on it. Replaced clutch last year. Using Mobil 1 Durablend 75W/90 gear oil.

 

diff bearing problem at 150k and new tranny (broken gears) at 155k

clutch changed at i think 145k as well or around it.

Need new clutch soon @ 161k

been supercharged since like 153k

 

dang... someone w/significantly more miles than me! Hope my bearings last.
congrats on your sc

only 60K total but 30K with a S/C (now at 10+ psi)
20K with an ACT stage I... no probs

 

Changed clutch around 75k miles. About 98,998 miles on the car and clutch is great.

 

105k and i have noticed there is this wierd noise now when i try to shift into first. its like a shhhht then it goes away...

 

got 105k miles on my 95 on the original clutch. Tranny is fine, clutch needs to go.

 

Tranny just went out at 105k

Replaced with '99 i30 tranny... I hope it lasts the life of the car....

 

235K and still shifting smooth on my 96

 

162xxx miles on my 95 5spd.................................
Damn thing leaks like a son of a gun 99% sure its the diffy bearing. Original clutch, it really hasnt been abused.

 

104xxx miles on my 98 max
replaced tranny at 100,xxx or so miles with a 01 tranny i think...
replaced clutch with exedy from ebay... now slipping 4,000 miles later.( note to every1 stay away from that ebay one)
redline gear oil.....
but i still love my car

 

how often do you change your gear fluid?

 

new clutch at 90,000 i owned it since 80,000. No problems and i just put mt-90 an dnoticed nothign as well.

 

138,000 replaced clutch last week. other than that, still can beat all the rice rockets.

 

97 with 84k. I bought the car at 77k. It's on the original clutch and I think it's never had the gear oil changed (I will be soon). It's nice, but when I get in my 00 5 speed I realize that the 00's tranny is much smoother.

 

I bought my 1996 SE 5 spd. with 132xxx on the odometer. When I got home, it was leaking tranny oil. It was probably a mainshaft/differential bearing combination as far as the problem. My car was brought to the dealer I got it from, to have a '98 transmission put in (67xxx mi on that one), only to have the dealer find out that that one leaks too. However, this leak was caused by a visible crack in the bottom of the tranny, which is why I don't know how they missed it when they "checked it over for problems."

 

134,000 and no problems so far I brought it at 113,000 previouse owner said he didnt change the clutch either. Damn you guys are scaring me with these tranny issues. are transmission problems normal for the max?

 

i just heard about alot of 95-97 5 speed owners with tranny problems.i dont know if its the way they drive or maintain it.how often do u change your gear oil?what kind?

 

Got a 95 SE with 120K, new clutch at 115K. Transmission started to leak. Was told it was reverse idler gear failed, tore up my races. Not the carrier bearing. Took a while but got it rebuilt, sent from dealer to Phoenix Reman. Took a long time to ship but seems to run fine.

 

I have not changed the gear oil since i have had the car 1 year 4 months. How often is it recomended to change the gear oil? and what is the best to use?
