Im Buying A 5th Gen!

Im Buying A 5th Gen!
Well after a year of headaches with my 4th gen (bought one that was raped) I am a lot wiser now and have decided to buy a 5th gen..
I have a few questions to ask you guys:
1. Do 5th gens have horrible transmissions like 4th gens? (differential bearings, etc.)
2. What shocks are the best right now for 5th gens (illuminas for 4th gen)
3. Do you guys know if my progress springs (95-99) will somehow fit a 5th gen? (stupid question)
4. Hows the 5th gen maxima? - compared to a 4th?
Your replys will be greatly appreciated!

i was talking about getting a 5pd 2001 anniv ed. . .
i heard about the illuminas comming out for the 5th gen, im going to wait and get those and probably just sell my springs if they wont work with the 01..
does anyone know if the trannys are built much better then the 4th gen, cause the 4th gen tranny suck real bad

I have a 5 speed too...52k miles on it...
runs strong...
Although i might need a new clutch soon...

The 2k and 2k1 5-speed manuals are just fine from what I gather, but the 2k2-2k3 6-speeds I've heard before can be very notchy...
2k1 AE 5-speed (can?) come with VLSD too, right?
