Here's my disgusting problem.  I own a 2000 Frontier 3.3 v6 4x4. 

 I recently had to change the 5 speed transmission because it was leaking through a crack in the aluminum casting.  Changed it no problem. I also decided to change the clutch as well.  Went to carparts.com and I noted many of those listed transmissions that were already cracked.

Does Nissan have an underlying problem here? Many truck is 8 years old, one original driver, never been off-road, never stuck, just 62,000 plain ordinary paved city streets,  they quoted $3600 to replace, not repair trans mission.  I have spent more on this truck for maint since the warranty expired than  I have spent on my 300ZX in 20 years.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
