tranny fittment?
Would a 2002 5 speed bolt up to a 2000. I am doing a 5 speed swap eventually and it seems you can get the 2002 5 speeds for cheaper w/ less miles than the 2000.
If the 2002 does bolt up then i would have to use the 2002 shift rod linkage and shifter assembly?

you mean 2001 5 spd or 2002 6 speed.
Well i thought the 2002-03 only came in a 6 speed manual, but i was just looking on car-part.com and they have a few 5speeds listed under the 5.5gen year modles

then they are wrong. All 5.5 gens are 6 spd.

Just about every FWD Nissan tranny from 2002+ is cable shift. The 02+ Maxima 6 speed also has a different mount setup. They are stronger, but from what I have heard it is not an easy install to say the least.

What is the problem w/ the 6 speed install? isn't it something w/ the flywheel?>

I suppose that is not the hard part then, but the 2-3 people who have done it said it was too much work and not really worth it. I think tilley was one and maybe someone at NRH or somthing.
The flywheel and clutch are different and weight almost 2x as much as the stock 5 speed.
