7river Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi I just bought a 99 pathfinder. It has 260k(it was cheap) and needs a clutch. How hard is it to put in the clutch? I will be doing it on floor of garage. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It is easier than the previous model, no torsion bars to deal with! That said, it is manageable if you have the proper jacks/stands/lift and a few air tools might make it go faster. You'll need a friend and a few long extensions/swivels to get the motor/tranny bolts out, and be very careful when pulling the tranny, it is heavy and the transfer case to one side will make it want to tilt over; you aren't going to bench press this one, my friend... Don't forget a plug for the drive shaft end and a clutch alignment tool, and take a good look at the rear main seal, it might be worth replacing since you are there (don't want oil on your new clutch!). 260k miles is about 1/2-2/3 normal life for these engines so it should still be running for a while. I highly recommend you go to the Garage section and download a FSM from the pinned thread, it'll give you a step by step description and all the torque info you will need as well.
