was thinking of buying engine and 5sp transmission 95se with 10k miles on it that has been sitting around since 1996 thats 9 years in a non heated garage in massachusetts price of engine and transmission $650

I have 1996 maxima SE 5sp has 181,000 miles and needs a transmission

I was wondering what are the steps I should make before I do this
any info would be great .Never had changed engine before but would like to try

sounds like a good idea. maybe take one of the covers off teh head check see if the motor is in good condition internally but for 10,000 miles it should be okay

for that tranny just know in 90K those bearing will get you


he didnt respond after he won the bid or before, either way sounds like something shaddy might be going on. . . I hope not.

he stated in his auction that he will take $650 for bottom price
your friend put in a bid for a penny
does not sound shaddy to me
