I've got a 98' Max with a slushbox, and I was wondering how difficult/expensive a tranny swap to a 5 speed would be. Also, would it be possible to put in the 6spd of the 2002 Maximas instead? Has anyone here actually done this, and is it work the time/effort, or is doing a valve-body mod a better alternative?

Thanks!

no idea about 6 speed.. Whole idea is to get all the parts from a donor car or tons of $$ from the dealer for the parts..
Here is a link w/ instructions.

hey not sure but from what ive heard it can be done but it will cost a pretty penny like 2-3 G's and the 6speed well im in the middle of trying to do that now with my 95, ill keep you informed on how it goes.

Cool, thanks for the link, CBR! That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. The idea I had in mind was to find a junked car and get the tranny from it. Hopefully, such a tranny wouldn't be that expensive, right? Around $1K?

Anyone else got any more info on this?
