5th gen tranny stronger?
i am in need of a transmission for my 2000 se. i have heard that the 4rth gen tranny is weaker than the 5th gen tranny. i'm not sure if it's true so that's why i'm asking. the only reason i am curious is because it would make my search for a new tranny easier than just looking for a 5th gen one. anythoughts would be appriciated

but xl, my suggestion is go with what you find....if you find a low mileage 4th gen tranny, go ahead and jump on it...a lot of 4th gen 5-speeds have lasted a really long time, and if you're given the opportunity to buy a 4th gen tranny that's in good condition for a good price, don't pass it up just because the 5th gen's trannys are 'supposed' to be stronger....just my .02

Also anything can be done, as long as it reasonable! But if you wanna drop the 3.5 in your 2001 you will need new engine mounts and new tranny mounts, new wireing, this isnt just a weekend job. i know of bolting the 6 spd to the 3.0 but not the 5 spd to the 3.5 if you decide to do it let us know GOOD LUCK TO YA

In my opinion this is so because the 2000 and 2001 maximas are like the perfections of all the mistakes made on the 4th gen, i mean i have a 01 automagic and i drive it like i stole and still runs great. Just my .02
