The first RE5F22A (5AT) was used in the '04 SE and above, up until what, '07 when they went to the CVT. The '04 SL still used the same RE4F04B (4AT) as the 02/03 Maximas, which is a slightly modified RE4F04A (95-01 4AT).

The Nissan OE part numbers are different for the starter, but all aftermarket companies list it as the same for the A33 and A33B autos. What's different about it?
Since the front housing is the same, the starter should be as well. They don't really look different, you just can't see the nose on the VQ35 starter in this pic.
You can see the VQ30 starter on top (same for 4AT/5MT), VQ35 starter on bottom (4AT):

I believe the flywheel starter ring gears are different (teeth number). Don't forget that the Gen. 5.5 trannies are the same model number as the '01 non LSD trannies only. The LSD trannies ('01 AE) have a different model no.

IT WORKS! IT WORKS! IT WORKS! it shifts smoothly as everthing is the same nothing was diffrent even the starter( i realized my starter cable was messed up so thats why it was dragging) so guy now you are able to use the 4spd auto from 3.5s

If you want to use the '03 ECU, you're going to have to get an '02/03 engine harness.
#33
I don't think so that i need 03 ECU for 6MT i just need 01 Manual trans Ecu, but there is separate Transmission computer (i don't know manual trans has it or not) and i can't use 03 ECU on my 01 max Engine cuz' it's 3.0
#34
There's no trans computer for a 6MT...what could it do? Nothing.
I know you can't use the '03 ECU on a VQ30.
So are you just trying to swap in a 6MT, or the VQ35+6MT?

ok, then regular VQ30 engine ECU for M/T is ok! no i don't want VQ35 it's too much work and $$$ better sell this car and get another one with VQ35, today i saw 04 Engine for very cheap price but still a lot of work! i just want 6MT from VQ35 to my VQ30, and what kind of parts i should get for manual trans ? i know taht Manual tarns has different Axels then Auto that i have to change

so u just bought an 03 tranny from a junkyard and slapped it on your 01 max? Is it as simple as that? I'm planning on doing the same thing later down the line when my tranny goes. 02-03 trannys seem to be better built....(or are they lol)

The RE4F04B was beefed up slightly for the VQ35, best as I know. The RE4F04V you want to put in there wasn't designed for it, but it should handle it just fine, if it's been treated well.
All you need is a VLSD driver's side axle.
