How do you remove the 5 speed transmission on Nissan d21?

Answer 1

I have a 1993 Nissan D21 pickup. 4 cylinder 5 speed manual transmission.

To remove mine completely out of the truck

- pull the shifter cover from the carpet and remove the screws holding the cover

on. You need to remove the shifter, 4 bolts and it slides up and off the

transmission. the 4wd shifter can be pulled out of the way by removing the

guides bolted to the transmission, 2 guides, 2 bolts each.

-remove the drive shafts, rear and front if 4wd

-unplug any sensors air flow lines, and the clutch slave cylinder, 2 bolts.

- remove the rear cross member (two bolts on each side of the frame)

this also invoved taking the pressure off the tortion bars and unbolting them

from the front, which i found to be easiest. That involved 3 bolts and

nuts on the front of each bar.

-remove the front cross member, which the transmission is bolted to. The

transmission will then lower itself a bit without the support of the

crossmember.

HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORTED BY NOW WITH A FLOOR JACK OR 2.

-unbolt the transmission from the engine block along the bell housing, exposing

the clutch and pressure plate. This includes the starter which has two tranny

bolts holding it on. I got to mine easily through the passanger wheel well.

The transmission should now be floating in your arms ready to be cared for.

all in all it realy only takes about 4 hours. very simple.

KEEP BOLTS AND NUTS ORGANIZED OF COURSE. plastic bags or cups,

labeled. you want your assembly to be as smooth as possible.
