Is there anywhere good to get info on pulling the engine in an 01? The V6 one. Hubby is doing mine and looking at some of the bolts etc he's wondering if he has to pull the exhaust in order to get the transmission unbolted?

He also says the Xterra engine bay is the worst he's worked on (he's done a Ford Probe, Mazda MX6, Toyota Tercel and VW Rabbit.

Not sure about the vg engine. Yes that bay is horrible. Another reason i keep my 4-cyl. Until a vq swap is possible.....maybe. Lol. But im sure someone has the answer to your question on here.

I unbolted mine by just taking the y pipe and after, off. However i was doing to a clutch job and not an engine swap.
