Nissan Repair: 1999 Sentra Clutch Replacement., clutch slave cylinder, nissan sentra


Question
I have a 1999 Nissan Sentra with manual transmission.  I have a 2 ton Transmission Floor Jack and all the tools possibly needed to change out my clutch.  This is my fist time attempting a replacement of a clutch in a transverse engine.  Could you possible describe the removal of the clutch and I will assume that it is just the reverse to put it back together?  Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Answer
Paul,

To say that it is a pain in the butt would be an understatement.  You will need to take the front tires off and the CV driveshafts off and that means taking the struts loose and the front brakes.  You will need to support the engine and there are supports available to rent for the purpose of supporting the engine from above across the strut towers.  Now, take the clutch slave cylinder off and the starter and the lower support and the shift linkage and then the wiring for the backup lights and the safety switch and then you have access to the bellhousing bolts.  Remove them all and with the use of your jack you can remove the transmission.  Assembly is the reverse of the disassembly.
