I see it's under the oil filter on the passenger side.

give it a shot, you'll have a great time.

BTW , your best bet is to replace the whole unit with a factory OEM part,
unless you want to do it all over again in a few weeks/months

Are you saying get the part from the dealer vs. a PepBoys, AutoZone or
StraussAuto ?

yup, buy one from the dealer or yul have problems in the future, when i
replaced mine, i had to hoist the engine up a bit to get clearance to remove
the starter on my 94 pathfinder, its surely not a fun job

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the heads up> I'll ramp the truck and look before buying the
starter..I'll let you know how I make out.

mine was an auto trans though, hopefully you have enough clearance to work
to remove yours

I had great plans of doing it myself on my 94 Pathy (4x4 Auto). I bought a
Nissan starter/soleniod, and read up on various techniques for getting the
old starter out (Haynes manual, various forums, etc).

Well, I climbed under the truck stared it down and tried to get at if for
like 20 minutes and said "screw this". I'm sure that with my lack of
experience, best case senario would have been all day. More likely I'd end
up with a stranded truck with no starter.

Brought it to a local garage and they installed it for $75. Best $75 I
ever spent.

That is what I'm afraid of based on your description. Possibly the 5spd
tranny allows for easier removal

Thanks in advance.

95 4x4 5 spd: remove the skid plate, remove starter bolts and pull towards
the front. I had to twist it a lot but it basically came right out the
front. The first time took me a couple of hours, now I can do it in 15
minutes.
