Nissan Off Road & 4x4 Forum

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone is interested in the 3.3L and manual tranny out of my xterra? 149k miles but runs like a champ. Never had any problems except for the exhaust manifolds. tranny could use a new drive shaft seal too.


make me an offer, trucks in AZ. 858-699-0772.

ballpark what are you looking to get for the motor alone?
do you have the wiring harness and ecu with it as well?

the harness i do have and it should be intact. I do remember cutting off the ABS harness when i removed it after the swap but that SHOULD be the only thing missing. i was hoping to get $700 for the motor. but if it meant you coming all the way out here to pick it up i could knock a few bucks off for making it easy for me.

cool, thanks for the info!

any problems with the tranny?  I was going to rebuild the one on my HB but if yours is in good working order I might be interested.

The driveshaft seal is going. Same problem that lee had. But other than that it's been a champ.

so are you just parting out the x ? or just doin an engine swap

Partin her out.

get tired of building it and decided to just mod the subi lol

In all honesty I learned a lot from the truck but I'm done with it and wheeling for a while. I'm having fun with my subie and I can still take it offroad :P just different roads I guess. I might eat back into wheeling further down the road but for now I'm having fun going fast.

what all do you have left right now ?

Motor. Tranny. Modified frame (no use to anyone I don't think) . Rear seats. Doors. Wheels and used up tires. Axles are accounted for.

How much are you looking to get for the trans?

I've been wanting to swap to a manual but would also need to strip out the pedal assembly, shifter, stuff like that if you're parting out the truck.

i was hoping to get $500 for the tranny, its always been a trooper. clutch is still is great shape and you can have the pedal assembly and the clutch master cylinder. the clutch master cylinder is brand new as well. less than 1000 miles.


so basically im asking $500 and you come take whatever you need to make the swap.

Cool.  What's your time frame on this?

when we come out in April i can bring it out with me if someone want to buy it , of course ill need a few bucks for delivery since ill probably have to go to prescott to pick it up

I was going to scrap the truck on Monday with the tranny. But if you're sure you want it I can make it happen.

I want to do it but there's no way I can get down to you by Monday.  Even next week would be tight as I have to work 6 days, but will be free Sunday (or sat afternoon, but I'm not sure how long things would take).  I also need to double-check the bits and pieces I need to pull of the swap.

If you need it gone, I understand, but if there's a way to make it work that would be cool.

i just dont have the time or the energy to do it today. if the junk yard calls me and says theres no way they can pick up for a couple of days, ill get in there tomorrow and pull it.

Motor sold yesterday. Pulled the tranny today including clutch pedal assembly, clutch master and slave and shifter boots.

Schweet.  I can meet up this weekend if you're open.  Sending you a PM.
