I've got a 2003 nissan Maxima that I bought with a six speed manual transmission. It is sweet. I work in a Nissan only salvage yard and have seen plently of the 00-03 maxima's. My car is the only manual that I have ever saw. If you can find a swap, it's going to be expensive because of how rare manuals are in those cars.

These are directions for the 4th gen, it should give you a pretty good idea of what you're looking at. http://www.vqpower.com/v2/read...id=44

yea i know they are rare, its a bummer to cause dealers try to use that to their advantage. i almost bought an 02 with VQ35 6sp but he wanted to much. + i like the power of th VG30 and it sounds great with the injen CAI and HKS sport axel back.

Thanks for your input guys, i am new here and i apreciate it.
