95 Maxima (Auto)

Planning on swapping out my transmission.. Its leaking (not from the pan) shifting violently from 1st to 2nd and awkwardly to 3rd and 4th.. Its also a PITA to shift out of park when it's cold..

So I've decided to swap it out..

I've heard the transmissions from 95-04 are all the same.

Is this true?

I'm coming across ones with limited slip differentials and without..

What's this all about?

First time ever doing a job like this on my own..

Please guide my the right way!

 

Stick with 95-99 transmission. Lsd is very desirable. More traction. Either way, you have alot on your plate with your rad support and now this. Why keep bothering me about my ypipe?

Edit: oh ok I just read your post that it's on hold.

 

Go with and lsd trans, easy as **** to swap and great for winter driving..Drain it, pull the axles, unplug it, remove the starter, trans bolts and converter nuts. Slide it back and down, Done..Good Luck.

 

So from 95-99 the transmissions are non lsd? Is my current transmission non lsd?

Will the 2000-2003 maxima transmissions bolt right into my 95?

 

Lsd is available on the Infiniti I30t and some Canadian model Maximas I believe. You can verify you trans by the plate on the firewall in your engine bay. RE4FO4A is the typical non lsd trans if I recall. 2000-2003 trans will be a whole different story. If you're not doing a 6 speed swap (even that's not easy) then just drop a 95-99 trans in.

Edit: also the lsd trans requires an lsd axle for the drivers side.
