I am replacing my old 2000 Xterra engine with a lower mileage one. I have swapped engines before, but only on manual tranny's. My Hayes manual is a bit fuzzy on separating the trans from the engine. Do I need to pull the starter and remove the bolts that connect the drive plate to the torque convertor? Or can I just remove the engine to tran bolts and pull the engine out?
Thanks!
