  Q: How do you remove and install a manual transaxle on Nissan Sentra?

  A: To remove the transaxle, first raise the vehicle and support it securely on a hoist or jackstands, then drain the lubricant from the transaxle. Disconnect the clutch release cylinder hydraulic line from the transaxle, being prepared for fluid spillage. Remove the engine and transaxle as an assembly, disconnect the wiring from the transaxle connections, and remove the wiring harness. Next, remove the starter from the transaxle. Support the transaxle with a floor jack, then remove the transaxle-to-engine mounting bolts, organizing them by length for reinstallation. Finally, separate the transaxle from the engine. For installation, if the clutch components were removed, install them and always replace the clutch release cylinder inside the bellhousing. Slide the transaxle forward, ensuring the dowel pins engage properly and the input shaft aligns with the clutch plate hub splines without using excessive force. Install the transaxle housing-to-engine bolts and tighten them to the specified torque, ensuring they are in the correct holes. Complete the installation by reversing the removal steps, filling the transaxle with fluid, and bleeding the clutch.
