2002 manual fluid change
i have a 2002 6 speed, and coming up on 25,000 miles.
2 questions.
how often do i have to change the manual tranny fluid?
and since i'm changing it to MT - 90, do i just drain and fill??? or do i get a tranny flush which costs alot of money.

Nissan recommends every 30k to change manual transmission fluid.....But just to be on the safe side....I do my changes at every 15k.....becuz everytime i drain my tranny fluid, its very dark and smells pretty burnt up......
Ice2k1 (alex) changed out his mt-90 at 20k miles and reported very dark color and a harsh burnt oil smell.....he recommends people changing them at 15k or less becuz of how quickly the mt-90 wears out.....
even if i'm wrong on this one....i'd still change out my fluid just to be on the safe side.....its better to change it out to fresh new one.....than to run a few extra thousand more miles and save almost nothing, becuz you still have to change it out anyway.....i'm very **** about not changing out my fluids on time.....
