drain fluid
remove intake and battery (basically anything in the way, including unplugging sensors)
remove starter
unbolt slave cylinder and other lines etc
remove axles
unbolt tranny bolts
remove tranny mount
you should be able to grab the tranny by the starter hole and guide it to the ground
from there its just unbolting the pressure plate and installation is reverse
if you need more then that, haynes is your friend if u cant find a writeup

black maxed95 has a good write up with pics here: http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...intensive.html
That plus a Haynes manual is what I used. I removed both axles, but left the cross member in place. I bought a transmission jack from Harbor Freight to make it easier. I have removed other transmissions with a floor jack, a block of wood, and an assistant, but the tranny jack is much easier.

Excellent write up!!. Can't thank you enough. I did the flywheel replacement about 2-3 weeks ago. I did not remove the crossmember but I did remove both axles.
Best part about the max is that the brakes and balljoints don't need to be disconnected for the axle removal. With airtools the hardest part about the clutch job is the transmission removal and installation. This job goes a LOT easier with the help of a friend to maneuver the transmission.

why would there be a debate? Get the 5th gen it is a better stonger clutch and will last longer. It is not as hard to press as ppl say. Just harder.
