Nissan engine compatibility	Sign In

Good day everyone. I have a 1999 Nissan Altima 4 cyl (not sure of the engine size. The transmission went out last Friday. Had a mechanic look at it and he says it is WAY out of his league (he mostly works on American cars). Anyway, he suggested either a replacement transmission or buy a used Nissan and put our good engine in it. The question is what year Nissan Altimas will be compatible to the engine of a 1999? I looked at ALOT of sites to find a compatible transmission with little to no luck. I observed that transmissions were listed " Nissan Altima 94, 95, 96, 97, 98 & 99 (including 99 Altima)" which seemed kind of odd. I was talking to a guy earlier at a salvage shop and he said the engine would probably only fit a '98 or another '99. I want to verify this info. If this was an american made car I friends with books that have all the compatibility details but alas it is not. Can anyone help me?
Thank you for your time.

Yes, we have contacted all of the local salvage yards looking for a tranny. One of them was part of a parts lookup system and they found one... in Texas.
