Shift kit for an 01 maxima

What's up everyone I just wanted to get some more information on the shift kit for my 2001 maxima. Can somebody please provide me with more information regarding price, installation and performance? Which one should I buy and is it worth buying?

Or in their words.

TransGo Shift Kit® branded products are designed to reduce/prevent/correct complaints such as "shift irregularities or durability issues". Shift Kit's® are perfect for normal use or towing. Shift Kit's® do NOT produce performance type shifts. TransGo Reprogramming Kit™ branded products are designed with performance in mind and most but not all models contain additional features like Gear Command that allows you to hold manual low to any speed and shift back to low at any speed. Great for strip cars or 4x4 rock crawlers needing to select low and not have it up-shift. Most Reprogramming Kit™ products can be tuned for HD (Heavy Duty) use by following the recommendations in the kit. If you desire full manual control, we offer Stick Shift versions for most models that provide no automatic up-shifts, in a forward pattern only, available under the Reprogramming Kit™ brand. So if your looking to retain shift comfort but want added durability use the Shift Kit® branded products. For performance shifts without sacrificing durability use our Reprogramming Kit™ branded products.

Find the HD2 thread on here... I have one on the 02 and the 1-2 kick was nutty with the OEM mounts

the nissan comes in either manual or automatic. the there is another transmission with a exact model as he list but, instead of ending in a "b" it end in an "a". I can only assume the auto and manual have different numbers at the end being as they are different transmissions.

what does "NWP ETL" stand for?

What kind of engine mounts will be needed for the HD2's "kick"?

RE4F04B/RE4F04A = generally the same 4AT tranny, the "A" model is an older model, used in 4th gens and most 5th gen Maximas. The "B" model was used in all non-LSD I30's from 99' and on, some 5th gen Maximas, and then 5.5gen Maximas and Altimas, and so on..

There is also RE4F04V = used in 5th gen Maximas that had VLSD and I30t models from 99-2001.

All those trannies are automatics, the manuals have different part #'s.

^ look at your firewall (back of engine) and on the VIN plate it will have the trans code, which is seperate from the vin.
