How good it feels to be young.he had the transmission like a baby going to sleep.good job video help 90 percent thanks

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Haha glad it helped!

[@gatogordo19]

Great video! Totally just convinced me to take it to a shop.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Haha no problem. We try not to cut out the hard parts because we want you guys to truly know what you are getting into

[@OliverKoolO]

Lol me too. To the shop we go. The cv joints did it for me lol

[@bigeazy1789]

Just wondering what website you printed those papers from ?

[@josepalomo749]

Can you make a video putting back the transmission. I'm having trouble putting it back now 😒😒

[@KiesMotorsports]

Lol, exactly how I pulled the trans out of an old car. The wiggle method is legit!

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Nice! the next gen Maxima you have to drop the front subframe, this sure looks like ontario with the motormaster jack and the rust in engine bay!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Haha we are down in NJ. They salt the roads like crazy

[@ag-ii3xr]

The wire hanging on 3:04 and in the background at 3:37 what is it? Where do you plug it to? Do you remember?

[@ag-ii3xr]

Whats the wire hanging by the tranmission?

[@truthsmiles]

Entertaining and educational! Thank you :)

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@yaboimyles2825]

I have a 2004 V6 Nissan Maxima I was wondering where you got the manual transmission

[@samueldaoust4973]

i need the plans you have in your hands to do the same thing as you! where did you find this plans?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

The Buick seems to have Driver door child safety locks on...so the driver can't get out. SAFETY FIRST!!

[@landonhohmann3484]

Great video helped a lot thanks guys

[@osoblizz7937]

When you removed the shifter linkages how did the weird U shaped one go back together? Was there a extra plate or something?

[@kalani765]

Where did you get that write up packet?! I have a 6th gen (2004)

[@devonwilliams1734]

Good job buddy but can you plz help me and find a harness and a computer for my 2003 maximum

[@josepalomo749]

What's up bro on 4:05 is it hard to get to the back up lamp connector without removing too much? When I bought the car the previous owner told me they changed the clutch but didn't put back or didn't do something right.... because my reverse lights always stay on... let me know what you think thanks

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Should be easy to get to. Probably just need to remove the air intake which is easy. I have a stainless still clutch line so I didn't have any clutch lines in the way, but you, might. Have you looked at it since yesterday?

[@josepalomo749]

TheSundaeDrive I've been checking and looking for videos like crazy trying to find a video doing that lol I mite take off the air box tomorrow before going to work. Once it's off what am I exactly looking for bro?

[@Rockony]

How long take to do the job yourself?

[@illgringodel530]

can i get a copy of those instructions p[[lease

[@maxwellbaden5300]

Axle puller? Is a wonderful investment

[@TheSundaeDrive]

If we did it more frequently we definetely would have one. Although, even using it only once might still be worth it lol

[@maxwellbaden5300]

@@TheSundaeDrive dude on Amazon you can get them super cheap. It's like $150. Honestly I don't want do deal with axles with out one.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

It definitely was a pain to remove lol

[@jhonatan7277]

02 Maxima? .. I love that car . I also have an 05 transmission feels like it's slipping

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Hopefully this helps you out with it!

[@YourFavDieselTech]

Love it 😂

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Haha thanks

[@TheLastMan56]

So how did you get the pass side axle loose??

[@TheSundaeDrive]

with a lot of PWR Rush and yelling lol

[@zayturner5075]

If i may ask, where did you get the instructions to getting the transmission out? Is it one of those auto manual websites? Is it free or paid subscription?

[@adityadharni5027]

The fsm on my4dsc helped me

[@kalani765]

Would it be safe to assume this process is the same for a 2004 Maxima 3.5??

[@kalani765]

I’ve replaced my clutch on my 2000 but a few things are quite different

[@OliverKoolO]

That was fun but constructive. Thanks

[@adhirlg1251]

Hey there, can someone please tell me where I can get a 6 speed vq35de gearbox. Thanks.

[@d1specdrifter]

Ebay

[@lenchoobama1988]

i swapped my auto for a 6 speed from my other car did everything changed all the wires and won't start can't think of anything else that I may forgotten

[@TheSundaeDrive]

When you turn the key the engine does try to turn over?

[@regal953]

Say, did you resolve the no start issue? I would like to do the same to my 2001 Max SE, it has a 5 speed manual in it ...Thanks for any tips

[@TheSundaeDrive]

He never responded to us. I'm guessing the battery was possibly old and during the time it took him to do the swap it died. Starter is also a possibility too. Changing the transmission should not cause this as long as you reconnect everything

[@romansaunders59]

@@regal953 You need to get a crank sensor for the 6speed and not the one what came out of the automatic

[@regal953]

@@romansaunders59 car is OEM 5-speed manual

[@wildtrace]

Nice work! How long did it take you?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

wildtrace it was about 5 hours

This generation and the previous one ALL rot out at the lower center radiator support. Where the cross member and front motor mount attach to with the 2 bolts onto the radiator support, right where the guy removes the two bolts at 8:53 and said "I don't know how these bolts work any more." Well they DON'T and the reason they are flat is because everything under those bolts where they attach to on the radiator support is completely rotted. You can see the rot dust on the tip of those bolts, so basically the front motor mount sitting on top of that front cross member has ZERO support and the bolts are flat and look rusty because of the engine mount constantly bouncing on the rotted radiator support attached to that cross member with the two bolts. It rots out right there in that exact location under the cross member! Because of this when my clutch goes I will junk the car and will NEVER again buy a Maxima because Nissan always knew about this problem and continued to produce 2 generations and never recalled them. I have owed both generations and am disgusted with what they did. As a result they have lost me as a customer for life. If you have to pay a body shop to replace the radiator support the shop will charge about $3000. My car is worth a lot less then that, so I refuse to pay for a repair that cost more then the car is worth. Only after this repair is made can I go ahead and replace the clutch which will be an additional cost. NISSAN SUCKS!!!! AND I HOPE TO SEE THE DAY THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS OR GO DOWN JUST LIKE GM HAS GONE DONE!!!!! The last GM car I drove was before 1995 when they started to go downhill and I promised NEVER again to buy one and I kept my promise. You can see what is going on with them today. I am now saying and doing the same with NISSAN. So the Bottom Line is this: for those who still own this Nissan generation AND the previous one...….if you here something loose every time you drive over bumps coming from some where in the front end IT IS COMING FROM THE LOWER CENTER RADIATOR SUPPORT UNDER THE CROSS MEMBER WHERE THE TWO LARGE BOLTS COME OUT OF (PS* under the cross member if your looking at the car from underneath and top of the cross member if your looking at the car from top )

[@mindiseverything5036]

Oh that longer axle u didn't have a pry bar ? Hey u didn't show the fun part taking off the flywheel nuts and them falling inside lol

[@TheSundaeDrive]

+Free Spirit we just kept working on that axle including lots of prying and eventually it came off. It was a pain. Haha we know we missed that part.

[@SouthernSoulSutton]

Lol. Cool stuff.

Hey man, I'm having to remove my transmission as well from a 2001 Nissan Maxima. Do you know of any other resources you would recommend I could look at as a reference in addition to help guide me in this process. Thanks

[@TheSundaeDrive]

frankmoolah the service manual is the best resource. that is what we used as a guide
