on a 98 1.6 L easy as you need to get the car up off the ground jack stands will work or driving ramps. first drain oil and remove filter, next remove bolts and then slip a knife between the oil pan and block gently to pry the pan loose, once you have the pan loose clean the gasket material from the pan and block, clean pan well if you don't have any magnets in the pan put a couple in as this will keep the fine medal from entering the oil system or you can put a powerful magnet on the oil filter will go the same thing. Buy a tube of gasket maker that oil, gas etc will not bother it put it on per instructions and don't tighten as tight as you can get them, buy a cheap torque wrench for $10 from harbot freight (you should purchase a repair manual from the auto parts store as this will give you all the specks and instructions on how to do all the repairs for your car as this little book will save you a lot of headaches) then bolt the pan back in place, put new oil filter on and fill with oil. start engine and let idle for a few minutes and check for leaks it you did the job right you will not have any leaks

It sounds like it is the clutch cable. I have a 94 Nissan Sentra and the clutch cable just broke. I have replaced one on an older Nissan, but it is still difficult for me to do on the 94. It is really hard to get the broken cable out.

Why did my 2008 Nissan sentra se's starter selanoid just die and is it hard to replace?

a solinoid is nothing but a relay... (it is a coil) when you put potential through it it causes an electromagnetic field causing contacts to change.. the only thing that will cause it to *die* is a broken wire or if the contacts points are burnt..
