So for the past 2 weeks my maxima has been down, it started a month ago when my tranny was spiking in between shifts. I had it checked out at our Local Nissan dealer and they said the front pump in the transmission was going out they quoted me $3200 to replace the transmission. Well after driving it for a while it got worse and i finally had to park it. I sourced out a transmission from another auto maxima, it had 22k miles on it, i picked up the tranny for 450 bucks with a 6 month warranty on it. Found a local shop that did my install for only $350.00 and 2 days later i have my car back. I have been drving around a borrowed honda element while my car was down and let me tell you it feels great to be back in my Maxima! I missed the vq alot! The car actuall feels stronger now with the new transmission but its prob just in my mind cause i have not drove it for a while. But thats my story i am just glad to be back in my Max!

 

Glad your back with us

 

perfect example of nissan trying to rip customers off.
perfect example that nissan transmissions suck both auto and manual

welcome back to the world of torque

 

Dumb question, but how did you transport the transmission?

 

Put it in the back of the honda element i was driving. The Elements may be ugly but they are very versatile lol
