I appreciate you homie and i will
I can’t get my valve body back on... there is a pin it won’t line up with. We have taken it apart 5 times
buckfam 91616 ever figure it out? I’ve taken this valve body out a few times and never had an issue
Great info and picture quality, you just have to fire your camera guy cause he wasn't focusing on the items you were describing;)
@@papichulohoy camera guy was my dad lol I think he forgot he was filming
Excellent video. A trick I learned from a friend regarding the bolts. Get a piece of cardboard and draw a rough sketch of the valve body with holes punched in the proper places. As you remove each bolt, stick it in its spot in the cardboard diagram.
Nice..
Awesome idea bro
Bet lol
I'm going to try this. Was wondering how to keep track of the bolts
Buddy, I'm a mechanic for 25+ years, you made this video and I am amazed how you explained everything so simply and on point! Props bro!
I own a mobile mechanic business and have one of these to do tomorrow and was werry about it, but this kid gave me positive thoughts on it now.. These cvts are pretty wild..
@@JohnDoe-ez7kl How much you charge?
@@Reeeeeee12345 I charged $350 plus parts and fluid, part was $85 I beleive, and fluid from Nissan was $70+. Around $500 for complete job,
@@JohnDoe-ez7kl ok I see. I'm gonna do mine soon. Car won't accelerate at all at times, it won't move. Other times it moves very slowly, and only starts working normal after it hits 20mph. Got codes stating solenoid is bad, stepper motor is failing, and speed sensors on transmission giving bad reading. Hopefully it goes well.
You got it, pretty simple job.. I've done many since..
I have zero mechanic experience, but I followed this video step by step and my car runs like new after almost 2 years. You are my savior 👍
I go try to do myself to ...!!
Did you have to reprogram it after or no?
@@sergiomunoz928 no
Did u have to buy the gasket piece
Dude the tips and tricks you explained saved me from having to buy a new transmission, valve body, whole damn car, etc. You should be a teacher. I don't understand cars easily but I love to learn. You've explained this exactly how I needed to learn. Seriously, thank you so much for making me feel like I could do it myself without fear. You're amazing man!
Man you made what seems like a daunting task appear easy. You ROCK for sharing your mistakes and knowledge!
Hi, thank you so much. I've sent it to my mechanic, as you're the first person actually showing what I was experiencing!
Sir, you are a blessing in the highest order. Your use of the small allen to retain the shift lever is simple and should be intuitive but intuitive in this case comes with a tall learning curve. While some may not understand or appreciate the value of your video but for those undertaking replacement of the stepper motor, it is simply enormous. Your commitment and willingness to help others are admirable. THANK YOU!!!
This kid is the best one i have seeing for the longest giving n details and how to do it . goes to the point how to do it . great job. God bless you..
Wow spot on. I honestly like the bit where you introduced us to the hole to pin the link pin into position.
Great video!!! After following instructions the car wouldn't go anywhere or shift into any gears. Afterwards, we realized the rod that's being held by the lever fell into the oil pan after unscrewing the lever without us noticing it. So, we found the rod in the bottom of the oil pan, redone the job and now the Car drives great. Thank you.
This video saved me SOOOO much money! Replaced the whole valve body for around 300, every garage was around 4k with labour. Thanks for this awesome video man!
Hey there, just wanted thank you sincerely. The info you provided really helped us out in replacing the step motor, and we appreciate your thorough walkthrough. There were vital details you provided that other videos with more "seasoned" mechanics completely skipped over, so we really appreciate your professionalism. Kudos to you!
I tried to have mine replaced my a “seasoned” mechanic and he said it didn’t change gear at all after he changed it. Now he’s telling me the part needs to be programmed. I need help! Big help! Please. In Louisiana
@@karamee78 there is an actuator that is probably unhooked on the valve body. It needs to go a certain way. He talks about it at 7:40.
Thanks a ton, the video is really helpful and detailed. It would be a nightmare to do something like this without instructions. You have just save time and headaches to all of us trying to fix this transmission problem. Again thank you.
I followed your video to the letter and I replaced the stepper motor in my 2013 Altima and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much, you rule.
I got a 2015… what symptoms did you had?
I've been working on cars my whole life I'm 37. Great video! Awesome angles and a thorough explanation! I now know what's wrong with my mom's car and can get it taken care of!
Man I think you might have saved my a$$ I mean it. I just ran into the same problem with my 09 Nissan Altima yesterday on my way to work it drove perfectly fine to the gas station then when I filled up and drove off it was stuck in 1st. I gave up on it until today then I ran my diagnostic computer on it and seen the code it shot me looked it up and your video came up along with a hell of a lot of other ones but out of every video I seen you explained everything down to the very end so easily a teenager could pull this off I promise. Now I've been working on cars and trucks and anything else that requires tools to be used on for more than 30 years but I've never done anything on a CVT transmission in my life and this will be my 1st time but thanks to your help im now sure I can pull it off 100% now. Thanks man for your time you spent on making this video you posted on UA-cam your very much appreciated I promise. I'll let you know how things come out after I finish mine I HV to pull my step motor off my transmission 1st to be able to match it up because it seems to HV 2 or 3 different kinds so I'm going to get started on it right now. Thanks again bro your the best
Nice work!! The best are those who share their mistakes so others can learn.
Because of you and this video p1777 code is now gone!!! Thank you!!!!
Solid video my man! Best one on here for changing out this part (really the ONLY one I could find). Simply wouldn't have done this without it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge after bumping your head so we wouldn't have to lol!
Opened my first shop in 1977 (not trying to give away my age LOL) Wonderful no nonsense presentation. Great explanations & helpful tips. ChrisFix has nothing on you.
Very knowledgeable and he makes it easy to follow step by step instructions! Thanks!
Excellent video. Very informative with lots of small details. One of the best UA-cam videos. Enjoyed watching! Bravo!
You are absolutely amazing.. I been going crazy trying to find out what's wrong with my car.. I thought maybe a tune up was needed... But I see now it's the step motor.. Thank you so much for this video!!!! Have A Blessed Day!!
Right, am having the same issue with my Nissan Altima
Roastee
You did a great job bud, very clear and straight forward. I have a manual transmission though but same vehicle and I am happy to say I learned something new about automatic transmission.
Manual trannys are best. I wish I could find one.
@Kaylene pretty hard to find. Can't tell you how much people wanting to buy it from me.
Great video 09 rogue had to take down the valve body couldn’t have done without this video thanks bro 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I did not put the Allen key on the last step and I didn’t know what was going on but this videos a life saver
What was happening after u didn’t put the Allen key in?
Prolly wouldn’t shift lol
Thank you for providing this helpful video! It enabled me to successfully repair my 2008 Nissan Rogue. The tutorial's instructions on removing the bolts from the valve body were accurate. I took the extra step of labeling all the screws from the valve. I strongly advise wearing protective goggles, as it can be quite a messy job. Based on my experience, I also recommend labeling the transmission pan bolts to avoid any mix-ups, which I encountered. Additionally, I applied silicone to the pan and allowed it to cure for 24 hours before adding the CVT oil. I measured the amount of oil drained and added the same quantity. After starting the engine, I shifted between gears to ensure the CVT fluid circulated through the transmission. Initially, I noticed a bit of sluggishness in acceleration for the first few minutes, but after about five minutes, the vehicle ran smoothly without any issues. Many thanks and God bless you for sharing this invaluable video!
From an older guy to a much younger man that rolled up his sleeves to do the job himself.. my respect to you Sir.. good job! Thanks for the video. I will have to do this to my sisters 07 Altima. Has the same malfunction as you explained in your earlier video. Thank you for the tutorial.. i think i can do it now.
You know more about cvts than most mechanics!
So I have a 2011 Nissan Altima with 210K. Somewhere after 90K it started to do that (not going fast even with high RPM's especially in weather under 60 degrees F). I saw a blog and someone stated to simply warm it up for 1 minute or so, then shut it off, count to 30 seconds, then start it back up and drive. It worked. I just hated that I could never just turn it on and drive lol. But now that I see this video I think I may be changing that step motor soon. Thank you so much for posting.
This is a fantastic video. Thank you so much. My 2011 Versa SL was having the same problem, only worse (hardly move at all). I just changed the step-motor an hour ago and.... no go! Didn't fix the problem. I'm soooo bummed! For the record, on the older Versa's you can access the step motor as soon as you take off the pan, it's right there, couldn't be easier.
2010 Nissan Rouge. Code P1778. At first I was upset because my first crack at changing the step motor was unsuccessful. Car would only shift into Drive,No Reverse. Watched your video again and disassembled the valve body for a second time. Possible problem, I left a washer off of a metal cylinder tube that was center top of transmission, it fell off and I didn’t know where it belonged. I also think my Allen wrench was to short to keep the mechanism on the valve body in position to get full gear functioning. Second time around I used a really thin and long flat head screw driver. Thanks Again For your very descriptive video and much needed and appreciated pointers.
Have the sane problem. Do you have pictures of the washer you are talking about? Thanks
Big thanks. This video was really helpful. Glad you blew past that 50 likes.
Awesome job making that video clear instructions and straightforward
I received a post card in the mail that due to the lawsuit Nissan extended the warranty to 7 years or 84 k. Better than nothing I guess. I have a 14 Altima and a 18 rogue Great video. Thanks for posting it.
This video guided me right through the process saved a ton of money!!
Hey, how many quarts you put back in?
Dude, you are the best! Have the same issue with my 16 altima. 8 years have passed, they do the same shit
I have 363k miles on my 16 altima and haven't run into this issue yet
Hey man i rarely like shit on fb or youtube but i had to throw you one on this video!! Super high quality. You outdid yourself.
Bro you are amazing. You taught me alot and save me thousands of dollars. Thank you for all that you do.
Any day my guy glad it saved you some money 👌
Bro where i find the model of my step motor on the transmisión?
@@budgetdrift6403 how many quarts of transmission fluid you put back in? Thank you
@Oscar Figueroa how many quarts of transmission fluid you put back in? And what type?
Hello Budget Drift! I just followed your direction on my daughter’s Altima and had complete success! And yes, a dealership wanted to replace the transmission due to the code. So thank you for your “straight to the point” video! Folks, this works!
I guess I spoke a little too soon. It worked for about a couple 100 miles or so and back to the same problem……geez! Thank you for the help though and well, I tried…….
I guess the valve body will be my next attempt…..
@@michaelboggs9378 I replaced the stepper motor also and it only worked for a few days. Did you replace the valve body?
Well unfortunately, Matt Nick, today was not a good day either. I now have replaced the valve body and I also could not get the car to accelerate to 2nd gear. Ran like a bat out of ---- in 1st gear and reverse but that was all……so disappointing as I have wasted money on a stepper motor and now a valve body that I had ordered both from eBay. Glad to those of you who’ve had success with this maintenance procedure. Nice video Budget Drift and well, I tried. Looks like CVT replacement for me…….
@@michaelboggs9378 Maybe the stepper motor went bad? I always worry about using eBay parts instead of oem...
Very good job. Very well spoken. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.
Thank you :)
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Incredibly helpful!!! I have to replace the step motor in my 2014 Nissan Murano. Thank you also for the Class Action lawsuit information! I will have to follow up on that!
Lonnie i have a murano 2014 also I changed the stepmotor but my car still stalls at acceleration were you able to fix your problem??
Thank you so much for this helpful information! Having the same issues.
Just finished replacing the step motor on a 2012 Altima. Couldn't have done it without your video. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Glad I could help!
What were the symptoms
@@djchristian8880 I don't recall. The scanner had the code.
Thank you for the diagram…I needed to know what bolts come out thank you sooo much
Your damn right I'll like and subscribe...I've been a mechanic for as long as I can remember and you sir was gifted a good brain
Awesome video! My son's car similar issue and codes. Another time I would have tried this. Need to bring it in...
This help me realize I need a mechanic thanks a lot!
You need tools and don't be scared
I know yo azz ant replying 3 yrs later!!!
Thank you saved me a ton of money.
Very well made video 👍
My guy you are a life saver! Thank you

Allen key tip FTW!! Saved my bacon today, thanks!!!!
Hey just wanted to thank you for this video it helped me out a lot 👍🏽👍🏽
Who would thumbs down this!? I mean I got lost after the different size bolts but I admire ur tenacity
Nissan and the dealership who will giv👎
@@mohamedsalam7895 facts 😂
I may attempt this on a 2011 Altima 2.5S It has a code for the step motor problem. Thanks for the video
Awesome job man this helped me out great great information
Thank you, very informative video. CVT issue with my 2008 Altima just started today, actually gave the car to my son a few months ago. Just ordered the step motor from the link below and gonna work on it as soon as it's delivered. Thanks again, this is a real money saver...a lot of money!!
Good luck!! 🙏
What did you use to spray the valve body once you took the pan off?
Thank you! You made it look easy.
Thanks for the vídeo gonna work on my 08 Altima this weekend
Wow the most important part at 7:40 wasn’t caught in camera smh but still very helpful thank you
Sorry about that my dad was filming lol
very professional thank u so so much u saved a lot of money
thank you for making this simple I have the p1777 code and may have to do this soon showing the bolts to remove the diagram was a great step
Did you end up doing it yet? And if so, did it work?
@@thatwaynard Actually I did complete the job step by step was very easy pay close attention I numbered all the bolt holes ant put the bolts in a box that had holes numbered and replaced part put back together never heard from customer again no more complaints
@@mrusmarshal ok thank you for responding back quickly. I have one more question. So after putting back in the new step motor and setting the lever thing in the right spot where you put an Allen key in the whole, did the transmission work fine after that?
Nice Job.... Great info.... Others say - "Just Replace Trans" .... You didn't. Great video
Thanks young.....gracias joven you help many people with you information....
Great video,thanks a lot for making this posible.the mecanic told me first to replaced the hole transmission after have code p1778,,then I show him this video and now he needs to go from easy to hard..actually he tried to ripped off.he ofert me 1000.dls for my 2012 nissan rogue...
Happen to me 2013 rouge
This video just saved me thousands. The allen wrench hack and the screw diagram for the valve body were extremely helpful touches. Car drives perfect now and the error code is gone. Can't thank you enough.
Hey, how many quarts of transmission fluid did you put? And what kind? I got out around 5 quarts and refilled 5 now car acting crazy. Thank you
@@firdavskhamidov6837 the guy on the video put back 11 qts...🤷
Really very thankful for ur video (Thank u from Egyptian Guy)
its amazing your tutorial video, save my life, awesome dude.
Excellent thanks for your time to make the video much appreciated 👍
Wow great informative video. You can pull fluid out of the pan thru the dipstick. Typical Japanese cars ALWAYS have way more frame rust.
Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing your video. Very useful. God blessed.
I have a 2010 maxima and the description at the beginning of the video where your flooring it and going no where similar problem but my code is p0746 pressure control solenoid “A” stuck off so I’ll be replacing the whole valve body that comes with all new solenoids. I searched for DAYS for solenoids it was way faster just getting the valve body and not to expensive $150 so it’s coming in Wednesday so I hope it works my buddy who worked at Nissan dealership told me to start pricing out new/used transmissions well I’ll spend 150 to see if it works because I’ve watched 4/5 videos with all my problems and it fixed it so fingers crossed
This guy needs a donation from everyone taking this info it saved everyone thousands of dollars
This video is so help full
Looks like im gonna try your method of madness on this on going issue hope it my issue as well ...ill let you know thanks for taking the time to make 🎥
Bro muy buen video muy detallado excelente te comento que tengo el mismo drama aunque aún no me sale el chek machine pero se siente muy poca potencia cuando subo pendientes, viejo gracias por el video sigue así, saludos👍👍👍
Yo no creo q sea el mismo problema pues la potencia la pierde por completo luego de más o menos una hora de manejo a simplemente tienes potencia o no también pasa q cuando aceleras las revoluciones se van hacia arriba pero el carro no se siente q hale
I'm amazed on how you explained everything so clearly. My altima 09 transmission has been acting up for 2years now. I used to get winning noise coming from the engine bay after driving at high speeds in the highway for more than 45min. All the "experts" told me I needed a new car or new transmission.
A simple cvt oil change fixed the issues for 10k+ miles, now I'm getting engine whine again.
I also realized that the mechanic did not change the filter. So I'm going to do another cvt fluid change and get a new filter. I've been adding Bar's Leaks: Super Transmission fix. It helped a little but I still get the engine whine.
I don't get any codes from the transmission so I'm not sure if I need to change the step motor.
Issues I get:
Stuttering while driving, occasional winning,
When driving for long I get total engine loss (haven't got that since the first cvt fluid change)
I bet the mechanic didn't use Nissan OEM fluid. You should always have the dealer change the fluid. They do a complete flush.
@@DM-hw4cr it started with the OEM fluid since I had never changed it (following mechanics' advise). I wouldnt use Nissan fluid either way, Amsoil CVT all the way
Appreciate it. Super nice steps.
Hey guys, one incredibly vital part that he forgot to mention is to torque down the valve body bolts to the correct spec. DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM DOWN BY FEEL. YOU WILL OVER/UNDER TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AND THE VALVE BODY WONT WORK PROPERLY.
How do you determine the correct spec to torque down the bolts? Appreciate any feedback!
Well whats the torque
Just paid over 3k to replace with 100k Miles and that's all it was. Nissan will not replace stepper motor. Thank you for opening my eyes.
They want to I pay 5500 for my and only have 110 k form 2013 rouge
I did replace the stepper motor from ebay, but it is not resolve the slow shift and high RPM with P1778 fault code. Excellent tutorial and pix! (2012 Altima had virtually trouble free 243K miles :) ...only MAF sensor was a non-wear item)
Hello Bob. Did you figure out. Thanks G
I also have a 2012 altima with the P1778 code, I was also trouble free til I just hit 200k 3 weeks ago. Since then I've had the shifting problems and high RPMs. Changed the MAF sensor and it helped for a day or 2 then back to the problems. It seems to give me more problems during the day when its hot out. I've never changed the trans fluid....would this job be recommended with the new fluid and all?
Camera man wasn’t good at capturing the full part and the latch and what you were doing. Hope I can figure it out by the way you explained it. You did a great job explaining it thanks
Great work. I have the same problem. Did the servomotor replacement, did use the allen key trick, but I m stuck in first gear and won’t shift any hogher. The servo installed is brand new. Reverse will work.
Any idea what i could possibly have don wrong??
Does the tranny have to be in neutral while doing the repair ? Thanks
Hello Gerard. Did you figure out? Thanks G
Thanks for the video also hell of a sun burn
Good job my bro congratulations
Great video!

Hi there I have same issues and did the same but nothing changed and I have same code any advice.?
@@alihussein1544 replace the valve body next, if that doesn’t work scrap it or replace the trans
I'm curious about how long it took you overall]??
@@budgetdrift6403 about how long does or did it take? I already ordered the parts and am ready to do the job I'm just wondering about how long I should plan for the video seriously
