Thanks for this. My daughter wants me to fix her bad transmission on her Altima instead of buying her a new car. This makes it a lot easier for me.

You guy’s made life easier.

Good job , everyone is saying you have to go through the bottom 🤣 you proved that to be BS

Thank you, great advice. My son will be attempting this

Great advice my brother mechanic!

This looks alot easier than going through the bottom. Doing a 2011 this week, I've always dropped subframe doing these but definitely trying your method seeing that I haven't got a lift yet 😅

Great video Bud! Very very helpful and truthful. That torque converter was a biiioitch! But I did the removal from the top. Exactly as you stated. Thanks again!

Great video, man! I have been putting off removing/replacing a bad tranny in my Altima, thinking I had to pull the engine. It comes out the top with room to spare. Thanks!!

Thanks my friend, help a lot 🙏

Great vid!!! I have a 2005 Volvo XC90 and I need to replace the trans. I never considered taking it out from topside of the engine, but I think that is a much better option given my engine configuration. It appears business is going well at the new shop; keep it moving and we’re all praying for your success!

Good tips thanks sir

We typically remove the hoods too. It's not much to do with a partner. The removal provides so much more lighting.

Thank you. I will do it.

I like that it comes out threw the top. I've never had to remove a transmission from one of those Altima's yet.

I like the way you put this in a poor boy perspective. We would all love to have a lift but that is just not the case for men starting in the trade. Nissan saved the trade name datson but it was nissan in the first place. Times were different then and competition was huge. The best this and that flooded advertisements on tv and radio then. I'm retired, 72 now and have done most any older rig. I found that if I could see how a car was assembled in the first place then it was apparent how to take apart. Some were not really designed to take apart. Never seize wasn't used at the factory to keep things from growing together and so you cursed under your breath as you bent or shoved the metal so to forgive the plan of attack. It was a nissan P.U. that nearly ate my lunch as it is very hard to remove from the bottom with engine in. I got it out and did all the right things I thought... thought! The pivot pin on the bellhousing for the shift fork was so worn and I never inspected it so the first push on the pedal and it broke off which was actually part of the problem that I didn't diagnose So little room and so hard to remove... I did a no no. I cut the bell housing and got room to put a new shift pivot pin in so the fork could actuate. Then with my spool gun welded the side of cast aluminum case back. It was the bell housing and only removed just enough to do this task and even then show me little mercy. Hours later it was done and very strong with all things factored in. It stood the test as that kid who owned the truck could break a anvil in a feather factory and I only charged for the clutch swap, not my short comings. I did everything by myself when I had a broken arm myself and was in constant pain just thinking about this job that paid little. When the kid tried to pay half and pick it up, I stopped him in his tracks... He tried to muccel me but he forgot I'm ex army recon ranger. I put him on his ass quicker than you spell cat. He paid in full with hundred dollar bills and then wanted more stuff done but I was done with him and his jury rigged truck which I found later was a stolen rig. When it come across my tow truck hot sheet, I took the cops right to his house where he was found with underage girls and coke. Oh I wish I had hurt him bad then! Bad guys don't always have their way

I got a question? What’s that part in the center call ? Pilot bearing ? My torque converter got stock and the little bearing came out with it!! I used a metal bar to take it out!! Do you think that might’ve hurt the flywheel?? Thank you much!!

Thank you for the tips my torque converter was stuck

I changed my fluid just before I hit 100,000 miles. I used Amsoil CVT and haven't had any problems and I'm at 185,000. I think i'm going to do it again this weekend and hope for 300,000.

Hell yes that's all. Good

Brian what all did you take off to remove transmission from the top? Radiator? Trans. Mounts?

I’m working on a 2014 and the cut unit harness with a bayonet is not playing nice any tips

How many bolts did you have to remove from the housing on the outer ring to free it from the engine?

2008 replacing eng/trans with lower mileage combo. Can it be removed as one unit. And the reprogram proccess, is it expensive

What Sup bro 😀 ... Nice shop 👌

How did you guys get pass the motor mount bracket

Love it, I figured it could pull out from the top. What what about pulling transmission on a 07 Altima 3.5 w/cvt transmission?

How do I take the flywheel off torque converter off

Hi, Is the transmission attached to the subframe from the bottom? Or is it held by just the one drivers side mount attached to the frame body and the 10 bolts? Please let me know. I am trying to create some gap in the transmission, rest the transmission on the subframe and replace the clutch plates for a 2007 manual altima. Thanks would appreciate a reply.

exact car i have. how much is the transmission? and do u have a list of the tools needed for this job? what else should i replace while im at it? my car has no problems just wondering. lol

My torque converter won’t slide back into my transmission after I popped it loose. What do I do?

Hey I just pull my transmission today and you can pull it from the top it works 2007 altima did not remove subframe

Thanks for the vid, I am in the process of doing this method. DId you have support under the engine when you removed the motor mount?

Good advice on the torque converter. I would have been looking for a fastener I missed, got mad, and just lit that CVT steaming pile on fire !! lol. I may have mentioned before my dislike for those CVT steaming piles of crap lol. Another good one brother.

Do you know if I’m able to swap a transmission from the sedan model into a coupe model, same v6 spec

Nice tip Bryan Did you move to a new shop? I saw one of your recent videos and you were unloading the lift Like watching you work- keep the vids coming. Thanks Tony in Chicago

Is the process for the 2007 sentra silimar

Same rules apply with the 7th Gen(09-14) Maxima's? Only 3.5's

Would this same method work for a 2010 Sentra?

i wonder if I can do this with the 3.5 sedan

i'm gonna try to sneek torque converter down and out after prying it loose from the flywheel to provide enough clearance., side trans mount already out, problem is fly wheel AND torque converter protude too far out and housing snags up against torque converter hence stopping trans from pulling up and out

Will this method also work for a 2014?

Great vid man! Where you guys buying those LED lights at the end of the vid? I need one of those!

how many hours to remove and replace?

It did help but u would have niped it in the bud if u did a full tutorial

Am I correct to assume that the torque converter comes out WITH the trans, then has to be correctly seated in the trans before installation like any other auto trans install, then snout on engine side goes into place as you install trans assembly ?

My transmission recently blew in my 2007 Altima, bought the car a month ago. I’m never buying a car with a CVT transmission again, cost more to replace the transmission than what the car is worth.

What about a Maxima 08 model

Did you remove the engine mount on the passenger side to get enough clearance? I have a 2012, and I don't have enough clearance to pull it out

What's the yellow crap? Did someone tag your engine when you weren't looking?

My brother's 07 whoever repaired his 6000 later its still failed less than 9000 miles. I think he's given up. But this video may inspire me to take the car and do this.

Would this apply to 2012 Altima with 4 cyl? Might have to swap out my junk CVT... Did you support the engine from the bottom?

what's the average price for this job?

Do I need to remove the transmission in order to replace the pressure control solenoids?

How much it cost to do that

Im having a hard time getting torque converter loose. I got the bolts out, and i have been prying it from the top but it wont budge. How did you pry it apart?

Will a 2013 Nissan rouge transmission fits into a 2008 Nissan Sentra?

I have a question about my transmission its been sitting up for a while now that it's fixed it won't go into drive but it will go into reverse its a 07 nissan altima ctv transmission. What do I need to do to figure out the problem.

I got a question? 1st thanks for your video. Now does 07 to 20l0 cvts on altimas need programming. Once replaced either used or new

Hey Brian I did a video pulling it out from the top ppl thought I was lien tiki dropped the vids 5 I think by yeah it is the best way and easy money as well

Will this work on a 2002 3.5L Altima? Thanks

I've installed the transmission but I can't align it with the torque converter after I attached it to the fly wheel. It's a gap between the motor and trans when I bolted it up. Any suggestions? Thanx!

No issues in and out animal style 👍

I was wondering, can you put a 2006 Nissan Altima transmission into a 2007 Nissan Altima?

Can i do this for a 3.5 altima too?

Hey will my transmission come out of the top like this video in a 2010 maxima

Any programming required after a trans swap on a 07 Altima?

Did you have to reprogram/calibrate the transmission?

Can this be done on a Nissan Altima 3.5 liter with a cvt . I’ve been wanting to know if it can be done from the top. I think it’s much fast like this .

Does anyone know if I can do this on a 2014 altima 2.5l

Will this apply on a v6 altima

CVT means something in the transmission??is different than the other transmission?

Im doing this transmission swap on a 2011 nissan altima 2.5. But the torque converter. Is stuck in the flywheel. Do you have any tip.

Sup Bryan916 I’m 916jesse in Arden wya

So in total how long would you say it takes to replace a defective transmission with a dealership refurbished one? Shops are always trying to screw over veterans!!!

Hello.this is same than a 2009 altima?

Not now

How much did y’all charge and did y’all get the replacement from a junk yard ?

Did u remove engine

In your opinion which way is easier

I really do appreciate what you trying to show us, but why show half work?why not start video from beginning not in the middle?

So are you guys fixing cars again. Or just fixing cars to flip you might’ve told us once before but missed it.

Is that bizarre

Will this work on a 2009 Altima?
