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

 

do you think the gaskets are all good sisce its been sitting

 

this isn't the eBay one is it? i remeber the same thing about a month ago.

 

yes it is and I have engine

 

oh, were you the one that asked about it before? i thought people said not to believe the seller... i might be confused.

 

get the vin off the motor run car fax on it

 

i would rip it apart replace all possible rubber gaskets......flush the motor as best u can with good oil.....pull the oil pan and ****......just because it hasnt been run in 10 yrs

 

is this the 10k motor that was on ebay. Cuz a fellow friend on the org. bidded on it and won the auction and the guy never responded.

 

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
