engine swap instructions

hey guys i have been looking everywhere but can find exactly what i am looking for. my 2002 maxima 6 speed has about 220,000 miles on it. i love this car and everything about and i want to keep this car till i die. i got an engine and transmission still bolted on from a 2006 maxima for 500 dollars with 120,000 miles on it and i want to do a swap, since i am in college i do not have the money to hire someone to do the swap and my question to anyone is, is there anyone who knows step by step instructions in removing the engine if so comment below. thank you very much

sorry dude these guys don't spoonfeed at all.

If you did your extensive search on what it takes to make the swap possible then removing the engine should be just taking out the battery and start unplugging/labeling harnesses and removing bolts

Ok, you must not have read/searched much. 06 never offered a 6MT.

Here's a good thread.

It was the 2007 maxima when they switch to the cvt transmission only, granted it's hard to find a manual 2006 they still do have them

Oh yeah, my bad. I was thinking of the 4AT, which was only offered in 04/05. Carry on.
