What's involved in replacing the clutch on a '05 or '06 Altima with a 3.5L? Does the whole engine need to be removed or is it possible to remove the transaxle from the engine in the engine bay?
Use a support fixture to "hang" the engine. Remove the subframe and then you can remove the trans from the engine from the bottom. Not an easy job if you don't have a lift.
Either that or drop the whole engine/trans/subframe assy. down, rasie the engine/trans up off the subframe and remove the trans, but that's a lot more work.
Yea, that's fairly involved. Breaking all those fluid lines and all that. We're going through that now with my '02 Altima with its dreaded 2.5L. I don't want to have to go through this again with another one.
