SuperBlack 
1998 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 4dr Sedan
Black Max
 Really got used to the SE firm 
suspension, it rides fairly low and 
sports carish.  The power is great when 
the knock sensor isn't on the fritz.  
Milage is great for a V6 I think we 
averaged almost 30mpg on our last trip.
   We looked and looked for a 5-speed 
and when we finally found a good one we 
snagged it.  Now I know why they are so 
rare.  If you could drop a Honda 5-
speed in the max it would be great but 
I'd pass on Nissan's manual.  The car 
shifts like a 1-ton Ford, long throw, 
linkage by "Gumby", it is impossible to 
drive smoothly, and I've had standard 
trannys all my life.
