Anyone know if 2002, 2003 maxima owners would be able to transplant the 5 speed tranny off of the i35? If so, how easy/hard would it be?

 

2002/2003 I35 is auto only I think.

 

thats what i meant, sorry..... I mean, is there a way to swap the auto for an auto?

 

To add, I35 is definitely auto only, and it's not the 5-spd variant.

 

I35 has 5 speed auto? I don't think so....

 

what is the purpose?

 

To gain an extra gear on the auto...

 

Yes it does... I was visiting the infiniti site and this is what i stumbled accross... its at the bottom of the page..

Also, i think smaller gears might equal better acceleration... or a bigger 5th gear might equal better gas milage.. not sure, but i fugured since it was the same car (basically) maybe we could swap... anyone know?

 

It's been a known typo for a while now. If you go to your local Infiniti dealership you'll see it's a 4spd. Infiniti's own comparison page also shows it as a 4spd automatic, along with the press release on Infinitinews.com on what's changed for the '04 model.

 

oh man, the sucks.... but it would have been nice though....

 

What would be cool is a transplant of the CVT from the Murano. Would go to peak power RPM and stay there until you lifted your foot.
