How do you remove the transmission (manual) on a 98 Suzuki Swift? Does it come out of the top or bottom? Does the engine need to come out first?

I assume it is a standard shift transmission? I would see if there is any adjustment on the clutch cable. If the cable is already as tight as it can be adjusted, it's probably time for a new clutch.

first thing to do is DISCONNECT the battery then remove the wires from the back/bottom ao alternator , undo the top adjusting bolt/nut undo and remove the bottom bolt(s) that the alternater pivots on remove the top bolt completely the alternator is then free replacement is just reverse

Hi. My car manual ( American i'm afraid) states 2.5 quarts for manual and 5.0 quarts for Automatic . When i was in school there was 2 pints to a quart so that's 5 pints for manual and 10 pints for Automatic ? Any help ?

1. Drive the vehicle to bring the transmission up to operating temperature.
2. With the engine stopped, remove the oil level gauge front the side case of the transaxle.
3. Check the color and smell of the oil. If it is black in color or smells burnt, further transmission service is needed.

5. Fit the oil level gauge to the transaxle side case so that the threads rest on top of the case.
6. Remove the gauge and check oil level. The level should be between FULL and LOW level line.
7. If the level is below LOW mark, add oil until the proper level is reached.

Yes

You may have an issue with the solenoid. This is the one that selects the gear for you. It is found inside the transmission and has wires coming out of it. It may be just dirty or needs repelacement.

look in the ebay site or rapid share

diagram of what? do u mean the trans? if so any service manual will have it, also try autozone for there free online repair manuals.

cannot be specific, had a 98 (now a 99). remember they fire twice- compression and exhaust. if you don't get and answer soon, look up firing order and everyother one should fire together, limiting combinations to two. It doesn't care what stroke it is on
