I'm considering getting a 6th Gen with MT. Are there fewer 6th Gen parts cars in junk yards than 5.5? Does the 6th have a smaller online owner community than 5.5 gen? Is the 6th gen more reliable or less reliable than a 6th gen if I get a 2016+ engine swap? Are there more electrical issues or other non-engine issues? Thanks.

 

in terms of community support there is a lot more for the 5th gen and 5.5 but many of the information is interchangeable. I’m terms of reliability I believe it to be VERY reliable I got my Maxima with the original engine and transmission 215k miles and ran great I tried to change the timing chain for good measure messed it up needed a new engine but if not for that I’m sure mine would still be running great. At 235k miles
