The Altima Se-Rs are 6 speed but the regular Altimas are 5 speed. But I believe the 5 gear ratio is better then the 6 gear ratio. If your looking for mostly performance, I'd go with a 5 speed.Originally Posted by MAXIMA_STYLE

I meant it, as in performance. But overall, I'd rather drive a 6 speed. Im looking for Is250 6 speed or G35 6 speed. Upgrading.Originally Posted by mahanddeem

WOW well i personally have never seen a 5 speed 6 cylinder alti but if you say so i guess you would know its your car lol, the only way id opt for an alti over a max is if its a 6 speed

The person that said the 5 spd was an option is 100% right I know Maxi's and Altima's up one side and down the next. Altima was the only one that was offered with both the 5 and 6 speed manuals. SER being the only 6 speed option. Maxima was only the 6 speed. I also agree that I would much rather have the 6spd over the 5. Thus I would only want a SER Altima

Lol, my sister has a 3.5 5 speed also, so I know he's not crazy. Showing her this one because she wants a second altima

My cousin has a 3.5 5-spd altima... The OP is correct, the Se-r Altimas come w/ the 6-spd.... But, we have personally done the experience @ the dragstrip against Se-r's.... The 5-spd SE takes the win all day everyday, despite having the open diffOriginally Posted by MAXIMA_STYLE

I own a 02 3.5SE running 175k Miles and going.
BTW 2002-2004 are the only Altimas you can put a downpipe without a check engine light including headers. Headers require O2 Spacers though. 05-06 had an extra O2 sensor by the down pipe and were wide band. These are short band and can be faked.
Whats the maintenance record for this?
A 6th gear would make you run lower RPM's on the highway and reduce engine noise.
