This is my problem, my manual trans wasnt working after 2 weeks of driving it and i took appart the trans. and this is the funny thing, I pulled of the trans and the clutch and flywheel fell off. All 6 bolts on the flywheel snapped off. So with the part where bolts where flywheel bolt up to, the part that is connected to the engine/crankshaft. Do i have to just replace that piece or do i have to replace the entire crankshaft. I need an answer ASAP. Thanks

If there is any damage to the inner bore of the flywheel or the lip of the crankshaft (enough that the flywheel doesn't fit snug) then you are in trouble. Otherwise...

1* Make sure you use quality bolts, source them from Nissan.2* Make sure any dowels are in place3* Torque the bolts with a torque wrench don't trust your muscles to tell you. Loctite won't hurt.
