Same here, but then all may vehicles have manual transmissions.
I think part is that it is a Nisson. I knew a few people who have had Nisson trannys go bad with less than 100k miles.
Any decent auto or manual transmission should go 200k miles or more with proper maintenance. I know owners of Toyotas with 250k miles on original transmission. Same for older GM, Ford.
I was irritated my Cherokee 5-speed manual died at only 220k miles. It was a known "metal fatigue" issue and just needed the upgraded 4-5 gear hub installed.
Perhaps, but even then remember that his coworkers Nissan was a 2009 with 110,000 miles. That is at least 27,500 miles a year, if not more, and is double the average person (12-15k). That is a lot of strain and wear and tear to put on a car. Even if my car's transmission does die at 110k miles, at the current rate of 8k miles a year, it will be at least 13 years before I hit that.
