On the maxima forums I remember a couple of guys swapping out the cog for 6th gear with a much lower ratio gear, for highway cruising purposes. They pulled it from another Nissan transmission, but I don't remember which. It fit without much hassle. I'm just curious whether anyone has tried this yet. Sure would be nice to cruise on the highway at 1750 rpm and 80mph. I don't really foresee myself redlining in 5th and needing to keep pulling through sixth.
