haynes? :Ptoi!: get the FSM

 

thanks for the tip i went to autozone and baught a haynes book for the 85-92 maxima. i got the clutch out finally and replaced the clutch with ease. only took about 1 1/2 hrs to put it all back together to thats cool. however, even before i swapped the clutch i heard a weird (tapping, clicking, knocking) sound but only when the clutch was not being compressed. when i compress the clutch the knocking noise goes away. and ideas??

 

qfmft.
that book is so worthless. I got an fsm, and now I dont know where the haynes is. fortunately, i didn't waste money on it; it came with the car.

 

isb

 

...read Haynes, it will show how to

 

I've got a ****lins manual that came with the purple 4th gen. it covers the VG, VE, and VQ.

 

ok sooooo what is the isb?

 

input shaft bearing. Do a 3rd gen specific search on them. Lots of results will come up.

 

how far into the job are you already? I've removed/installed my tranny 4 times (swap, clutch, VLSD swap, engine swap), and matt's once (engine swap). So i pretty much can get it on the ground in 2 hours with hand tools.... so what are you lacking right now?

 

thanks for the help guys. liek is aid i got the swap donw it went well but my tranny is now makign a weird wine and clicking noise. I acually lost 1st and 2nd gear earlier today.....the left side of the gear just locked up. i couldnt even move my shifter over twords the 1,2 gear side....crazy.

 

and now im looking for some 1 whom might have a spare 5-speed tranny lying around waiting to be sold for reasonable price ;]

 

You might find one in the Charlotte area pull-a-part.

manual trannies are around $50 there.

 

crap... thats what i meant...

 

ya well i do live in maryland so the charlotte area is a little far for me...

 

Oh I assumed it was Salisbury, nc.

 

its all good. i found 1 locally in a junk yar for $450. a little steep i think but it was delivered same day to my job and it only has like 60k miles on it so its what ever hopefully this weekend ill be back on tha road.
