fixinto Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Good evening guys, I am currently in the process of replacing the clutch on the 96 Pathfinder. When i pulled the drain plug on the Trans, I had a large piece of metal in the drain pan, come to find out the input shaft bearing was toast, seems to be fairly common. Clutch was bad enough when i parked it, that it took out the Flywheel as well. So I figured while i am in there i will do all the stuff that is needing done and anything else I may Notice on the way, here is where i am at so far. 1. The clutch 2. Trans mount " to cross member" 3. Crank sensor, "my own fault more on that later" 4. U joints front and rear, "may as well while the driveshafts are out" 5. Flywheel "clutch ate it due to wearing past the grip material into the rivets before i could park it." 6. Rear main seal, " its time 216k" Needless to say it has been a journey, after being together for 20 years and 200k miles, a lot of stuff did not want to come loose or off or out. I am planning a pretty extensive write up on this including tools, tips and tricks, part numbers , and brands of parts i ordered, as well as where i purchased said items. All said and done, the write up should give you the tools you need to take this on yourself and skip a lot of the head aches that comes with something like this. Other than stuck fasteners of course, everyone has their own method of getting those out. Just a quick update to let everyone know it is coming, May be some time yet before i can get it together, i will have the truck back up and running again before i sit down to do the write up, so far i am all the way down to the rear main, i will be replacing that and installing the new flywheel / clutch tonight if everything goes well. Tomorrow i will be working on getting the input shaft bearing out and putting in the replacement. so a week or 2 maybe. Have a good one Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixinto Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Will give all of the details after the job is done. Right now i barely have time to even turn my computer on, only have 1/2 a day or a day on the weekend to tend to the clutch replacement, and sometimes really late at night. But its coming, just hang in there till i get er done. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
