>Well considering the Spec V's final drive ratio is 4.429, and the Maxima is >3.812, Is this the same as the older Maxima trannies, or is this new altogether with a new bolt pattern? I recently rebuilt a 97 Maxima tranny, and to be honest, I wasn't too impressed with the "strength". Regardless, I took dozens of precise measurements of everything, with lots of pics. :) -Jay
