...because that's the snow-belt, and Nissan marketed their limited slip transmission as a safety feature on their flagship four-door during winter driving.

The 2004 HLSD 6MT is a bolt-on replacement, with improved synchronizer gears, or so I've been told. Knight_yyz did that on his 5.5 Maxima, as have countless others. It's obviously awesome for driving on snow, but lots of people swear by the limited slip gains for aggressive launches, and Hotshot here gets a woody every time he thinks about his magical HLSD.

Although I tease him about it... if my transmission ever died, I'd get a 6.0 gen HLSD tranny without hesitation.

If you're spending that kind of green on a new tranny, consider a new clutch and lightweight flywheel, too.

i disagree that the LSD was marketed for snow...it was marketed like most LSDs...for the sporty factors...at least thats what they did in the 02 brochure I have
