If you have a hoist its pretty easy .

drop the gearbox crossmember and you can get to the top bolts easy with a long extention, then use a short spanner to undo the top starter bolt from underneath, a U shaped spanner is ideal .

Undo the attessa pipe and block it so you dont drain the reservoir in the boot, undo the tailshaft, the rail brace under the car,front pipes, unplug the loom, undo the slave, front driveshaft and dont forget the gearstick( take it off ) .

If you have a pull clutch dont forget to release the fork too. You have to bleed the attessa when you put the box back in .

its a fun job when you got the car on car stands.. lol. its pretty easy but take your time in making sure you got everything undone and out of the way before dropping it. just follow what wrxhoon as said and you 'll be right

nice and heavy too, watch it dooesnt fall on you

i did mine in and out atleast 10 times about 6 months ago when i had clutch troubles and that was within a week.

u get quicker thats for sure, ended up all out in about 45 min in the end and an hour to put it all back or something stupid haha

thx for all the help

i just got one more stupid question where do i put the oil for the gear box and the transfer case, in the boot coz i wanna put some red line in there

[wrxhoon]

The g/box has a drain plug( under it ) and a fill plug on the side .

The transfer case is the same and the attessa in the boot has a bleed valve under it ( under the car) , undo that and let it drain out but you will have to bleed it to refill the boot reservoir.

Attessa and trasfer case use ATF.

thx mate so do i fill it till its full??

and wat is ATF

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Fill the g/box and the transfer case until it starts coming out of the filler hole .

About 3.8 lts and 1.8lt from memory .

The attessa you have to fill to the max mark .

ATF= auto tranny fluid . You can always go to Nissan and pay X3 for it if you want to have the same colour !

i dropped the back end of the box on my hand once, hurt like hell, but the box didnt get damaged which is the important bit.
