That was a perfect dance of floor jacks to nicely lower that trans. I hope you replaced that rear main seal while you were in there. Putting in a $2600 transmission means you hope to get at least another 100K out of it and I'm not sure the original rear main seal will last that long.

The jack he is using to carry the transmission is a floor jack and not a transmission jack. He got away with using it because he had the transmission pretty well balanced and it didn't roll off the wooden block and fall off the jack. If it did it would have landed either on him or on the floor. A proper transmission jack has a wide lift platform that the transmission sits on and a safety strap that goes up and over the transmission to hold it safely on the jack. Whenever I needed one I used to rent one from a tool rental place.

When you've got studs in the torque converter you can't just lower the trans. It must come straight back first. Otherwise you can destroy the pump/input shaft seal. When the TC has bolts like in a chevy you can just drop her with very little separation.

Yep, in fact just have a look at the Renault family styling and you will discover that the grill lines, projectors and hood are very similar to this Rogue. They have merged before 2000.

At this time Renault introduce its 16 1.6 litter with over 100HP. This was in 1999. This engine gave them good reputation, with insane reliability and brilliant fuel figures. So, they did good things as well. I wouldnt mind Nissan borrow this engine from Renault LOL as soon as they dont borrow any electronic modules.

One idea that came to me afterwards, you seemed surprised that trans oil was leaking out as you separated the trans and engine, the torque converter holds 4-6qts of oil internally.

Also if you get one of the Harbor Freight Transmission Jacks don't use the chain attachment that comes with them, they release easily, almost dropped a transmission using it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ivan Put a 2x4 across the top side and chain the rear of the engine to it. They make a fancy support bracket for this but the 2x4 will work fine. it allows you to control engine adjustment by adding shims under 2x4 and keeps the 2nd jack out of the way If you have not already reasembled the unit I think you will find the top side support an advantage. Have a good one and keep the videos coming.

You're not a cry baby. I've been making the point for years that designers do not take into consideration maintenance and repairs after the car is assembled.

Pay no attention to the do-nothings calling you crybaby. This video, and others, have helped me decide NEVER to buy Nissan. These engineering flaws are a non-starter for anyone who doesn't want to throw a bunch of money at what should be a simple repair (like changing a starter). I can only imagine what the dealer would charge for this...keep up the good work, and thanks for your videos

Pure satisfaction breaking 5 exhaust bolts loose with no damage.

what did the big bridge do except being in the way? everything is just done for production, not service. so now you change the starter motor?

The transfer case.. did you forget to remove a bolt? Anyways, doesn't matter now. Nice job, wish you had a lift, those positions are brutal, my back aches just watching. Thx for sharing.
