To get the pan off, you are going to need to drop the center brace, disconnect the front engine mount to the center brace. Then you need to support the engine corner, not pan. Pull the bolts off, the 2 ends close to tranny are nuts. don't loose them. The pan pulls right off. make sure to clean the sludge out of the bottom of the pan. Look, we have a baffle/windage tray!!! use a gasket remover on the drill and spin the crap off the edges good, clean with acetone good. Use grey RTV for imports, follow instructions on package. I used Permetex Grey RTV for imports. Thsi worked well, you let it sit on the pan for a few minutes and then install the pan, make sure you follow the sequence of the nuts and torque as the manual says or you wil leak. torque to specs.cdpprab said:I have a 99 Sentra with 1.6 and auto trans that now has an oil pan gasket leak. Who has changed this and what tips can you provide me? Thanks for any help.
Removing the cross member is not necessary.... I have removed my oil pan twice without doing that step!sunnysentra said:To get the pan off, you are going to need to drop the center brace, disconnect the front engine mount to the center brace.

I don't know about manual tranny, but with auto's there is a dust cover that comes off so you can get to those two nuts. Here is a pic.rbo1577186 said:I'm working on this now. 94 1.6 Sentra. There are 2 nuts slightly tucked under the tranny. I can get an open end wrench to turn the nuts, buy cant get them off. I'll try undoing the mount.
