any1 know if a 5th tranny 5spd fits a 4th gen with no problem?

 

*IF* I'm not mistaken, Nissan used the same 5spd transmissions on the Maximas for about 10 years, until they brought out the 6spd 02. I remember someone here saying it.

 

i thought this was true too, the same 5 speed was in the 00-01, and then the 02 got the 6 speed.

 

so it will fit the 96 right?

 

bump:: bump:: bumppp bump it up!

 

6 speed fits too....

 

It'll fit yes; people have done 6spd swaps. But why do you need this? Only do it if your current 5spd is trashed. Because like I said, 4th and 5th gen 5spds are nearly identical last I heard.

 

i need one becuz mines just went and i would like a newer one in years

 

someone put a 6 spd on a vq30de... its more liek overdrive's overdrive if anything... 80 mph at 2000 rpm is sweet.

 

so can this be done without changing things around?

 

You guys may want to talk to vsamoylov. He put a vq35de and 6 speed in his 4th gen. Also, TILLEYS99 knows a hell of a lot about this stuff too. I would say check some of the threads in the allmotor section, there may be answers to your questions.
