1996 Nissan Altima Sign In

What is the procedure for replacing the starter on a 1996 Altima 4cyl 5spd Manual trans. Do I need any special tools? Are there any little secrets?

cpscan: Sorry for the confusion with this. Any forum can get unwanted posts and it's rare here and we will try to keep it that way.

Back to starter motor replacement. There aren't any real oddities I know of with this car. It is important to disconnect battery and a VERY good idea to use a "memory saver" used in a power port to saved stored info the car has. Don't open doors and disconnect any hood light with the simple memory saver. Seems this one drops down out the bottom which isn't unusual. Scope out what might be in the way.

Good luck with the fix,

T
