I believe Canadian Maximas had Limited Slip differential, and the i30's here in U.S. If you want this thing, look for i30 auto trannies

A direct replacement for your tranny is a non-locking unit.
However...
if you want to take this opportunity to upgrade your car as well as get it running again, you could get a locking tranny. This one has a viscous limited slip differential (VLSD) in it and provides better traction. This is better for both launching hard as well as driving around in wet or icy conditions. You will need a new driver's side halfshaft (aka driveshaft) for this, though. Your existing halfshaft will not work with the locking transmission. I believe that's the only change you'll need to make (besides the tranny itself, of course). You can ask Don in Texas for more details regarding this upgrade (he did it).
