*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.

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.

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.
