with no tranny leaks and how many miles on your car.any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

???
a lil vauge there cheif

 

ok, i was wondering if anyone with a 95-97 max 5 speed havent had any trouble with tranny leaks or the notorious diffy bearing problem.also the number of miles they have on their car with no tranny problems.i have 78,000 miles and so far no diffy problem or tranny leak(knock on wood).

 

me: 119k .. no tranny trouble 97 5spd
cousin: 70k busted tranny.. 99 5spd
cousin: 130k no tranny trouble ... 97 5spd
step brother: 150k no tranny trouble 95 5spd

 

so there is hope.

 

i have a 97 5spd no problems other than clutch @76k

 

I have 97 5spd bought used at 70k, now at 88k with no known problems.

I have a 96 5spd at 124K with no tranny problems (hardly any problems, period).

 

maxima's don't have the best 5speeds. I have a 1996 5spd and had the transmission changed at 80k miles ($2200 and 3 days labor) when a input shaft bearing went out. I now have 123k and no problems yet. No leaks (never had one) but i did put in Proline MTX tranmission fluid which i must say made a day to night difference. Best of luck.

 

cousin's 99 5spd

used tranny - $600
10 hours of labour in my garage and a few good laughs

 

My 97 5spd.. 80k had to replace clutch
93k replaced tranny
98k Trans has a leak

 

95 Maxima SE - 5 speed

Bought with 105k miles, now have 108k miles. Just replaced the tranny fluid with Redline MT90 synthetic fluid. No problems and smooth-shifting.

 

Does changing tranny fluid have a significant effect? Do you always have to flush the old stuff? Cost?

 

96 se bought with 68000 currently 143k no tranny issues at all! Ask me again at 250k!

 

how often do you change the gear fluid,and with what kind of gear fluid?

 

First, tranny flush can only be done on an automatic. You can't do that with a 5-speed. Drain and refill is not the same as flushing. Second, I only did this because I didn't know how long its been since the fluid has been replaced. I went for synthetic mostly for thermal protection and it lasts way longer than petrolium types. Thermal protection is a must since its been hitting 106+ degrees here.

 

112k on my 96 5spd. just replaced the tranny with a JDM 5spd. Now it runs great. NO leaks

 

95 SE...replaced tranny at 125k
No more leaks.

 

I have a 96 5spd with 88k on it....No Probz

 

Is the JDM a stock replacement or a high performance unit? How much and where can you get one?

 

i have 97 5-speed. 98,000 miles and still working good!

 

163k 97 SE

 

any tranny problems d max?

 

96 5spd with 180 000km, no leak no problem, running Redline tranny oil.

 

I have a 95 SE with 122,000 miles on it. Father bought it off the showroom floor, brand new.. It's been babied. No leaks, No problems, what so ever.

 

that's something I want to do now. Never did.

 

what do u want to do now?

 

that's the one thing i haven't done. Planning to though within the next couple of weeks

 

hmm. my replies dont seem to be posting... I have not changed the gear fluid at all. Its definely something I need to do but I have not had any issues so far..

 

how much is the redline stuff? I dunno much about the fluid ****. Will it make your clutch smoother? How much of that **** do you need?

 

I paid $5 per quart, I used 4 quarts but some have used 5.
