I've heard that the 5th gens have transmission problems. Can you all comment on this? I'm looking at buying one, and want to make sure I'm buying a problem car.

I cant agree with that statement due to I have only seen two fail due to driver error , one in a sentra and one in a maxima both had no reverse

Cool, thanks for your opinion. I hope not, cause I really want to get one!

The only problem I know on our 5gen is noisy/lazy front windows - so huge problem that stealership cannot correct it. Luckily silicone on the seals works...
The second 'problem' is a stiff rear axle, some might call it a feature but it keeps me liking the 3gen free suspension.

Thanks for your input. I finally decided on an 01 GXE, and the transmission is really smooth on it. Hopefully I've found a good one.

If anything goes wrong on my car I hope its the tranny. I need an excuse to change it to a 5-speed.
