I'm considering getting the 3.5 swap done, and not sure if i want to go through with getting the 5 speed swapped too. how well would the auto tranny with a vb mod and a tranny cooler hold up to the new 3.5 bottom end, 3.5 heads, and a mevi? it'd be nice to be 5 spd, so all you people who are going to say, just get the 5 spd, i know that. but going through finding all the parts n **** wont be easy. let me know what you guys think.

 

JapmaxSE blew his AT like 2 days after his swap

 

did he have the vb and tranny cooler? what about just putting in the 5.5 gen auto tranny?

 

He had a tranny cooler yeah, no VB tho.

He's doing a 5spd swap now.. I dont know about the 5.5gen auto.

 

I don't see why a 5.5 gen auto tranny wouldn't hold up - they come stock w/ the engine you want to put in.

 

id love to do the 5 spd swap, but just getting every little thing i need would be such a hassle. and i meant if the 5.5 gen auto would fit right into our 4th gens. i would think that it would since our trannies would bolt up to the 3.5 motor, but just thought i'd ask to make sure. im not sure of the differences in the transmission.

 

what about our 4th gen auto with a stage II valve body and tranny cooler? how well would that do? considering dudes are boosted with auto and vb, i think it should be fine. any other thoughts?

 

Not worth it. Swap manual or swap 02+ auto. Our internals are too weak...

 

is it poss to put a 2002 engine with a 6 spd manual transmission on 97 maxima? I know that the 2000 and 2001 engines r a fairly similar but what about 2002?

 

acutally i know plenty of people supercharged with an auto and VB mod with no problems and over 30k on the tranny...im sure a 3.0 supercharger engine would put out just as much if not more power than the 3.5
