You should not, but it might have a slower ratio.

Having owned a 1991 and a 1995 Q45, I can assure you that you will be happier with a 1991 ratio! It is one of the things I disliked going from a 1990-1993 series to a 1994-1996 series car - very perceptible!

Cost is nearly $750 (including labor) at a dealer. Might be less at some other places. Check http://www.everythinginfiniti.com for parts prices ...
