How bad is it to swap engine and transmission from 2010 Nissan Altima2.5S into a 2009 Altima 2.5S? The engine runs fine but the CVT is shot. So would it be easier to just swap entire motor/CVT or just swap CVT? Advantages vs Disadvantages? Thanks for any help. I hate to give up on the car its in really good shape!

Are you doing the work? Regardless, It shouldn't be that bad assuming you have the tools and skills. It's not like there's any customization required. Just keep organized and you should be fine. I think it would be easier to just swap the CVT. There's less plugs/wires/plumbing involved.
