Taylaen you make me blush.
@@YourCarGuyDR great video, I had a question though, are there torque specs for the valve body bolts and the pan bolts, thanks for your help
@@doja-3652 yes, I have the torque specs in the video description.
This is one of the best videos on Valve body Replacement, if not the best one! Well done!
I can not tell you how much I appreciate this video. Thank you so much sir!
I just picked up a 2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 with the solenoid A code p0746 instead of buying just the solenoid I ordered a new valve body and will be replacing it in a week this video was helpful thank you so much
I had the same code and when I replaced it with a new valve body the car getting worst and gets more codes.
Thank you. I've been searching for a step by step video. I appreciate you taking your time to explain everything. I need to replace my control solenoid. Now I know what to do.
Pay attention where he puts the Allen wrench, THAT IS THE KEY OF GETTING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. And I wanna say thanks for this video it was a big help.
Short and sweet definitely the best video on the subject thanks from New York. 👍🏻
The best video I've watched on this subject this issue thus far. Well explanatory on step by step move to get it done. Good job
definately best one i've found thanks. Son and i doing same on 06' maxima; after 2-6 weeks of waiting for a new(supposedly) valve body off Amazon. Great directions.
perfect! you are perfect! nobody on you tube has the quality of how to explain things! two thumbs way up for you my friend!!🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎
The Allen wrench tip ! Didn’t know and haven’t seen that tip before....had valve body out twice trying to figure why it wasn’t shifting...then I found your video... 3rd times a charm ,A huge THANK YOU !
2112cptmorgan glad it helped.
If I did not get this in right place would it make my car not shift only have reverse and low
Great video, easy to understand and follow. Well done!!! You should be on motor trend!🥇
Man thank u for the video. Very informative and really broke it down without being annoying and saying useless things.
I watched more then 20 video about stepper motor this is Excellent video with specific information. You are the best...
Amen, amen and AMEN!
thank you very much. was looking everywhere for a simple video for nissan rogue and this is basically the same. U da man!
VERY thorough, and easy to understand. A+
found this vid after finding a loose cylinder ring during reassembly. hoping it’s the shift rod bushing you mentioned. thanks for the detailed video!!
Great Video. Thanks again for helping me out. You do a great job explaining and showing everything.
Love the video. This really help me out. Now all I gotta do is get my money together and fixed my late wife's car 💪🤦♂️😪🤗
Thank you so much for this video. Very clear and easy to understand. Great job, thank you
Replaced 8 parts on the valve body and needed help with understanding a few bolts and this video helped with that thanks
I got a p0850 or p0845 similar codes… I replaced the valve body and it worked.
BLOODY AWESOME VIDEO, you saved my butt. Thank you, I could hug you.
Worked on a 2012 Nissan Sentra 2.0 same valve body. This video helped a lot thank you!
Thanks for this video. Simple + Straight forward + I tried it out and was indeed a Solution
Video was fantastic! Great details on how to do it.
Fantastic video and personality! Need to get you some ramps instead of stands though. Excellent video, you obviously know what your doing!
I ended up with two of these Nissans. A 14 Altima and a 18 Rogue. So far no issues. I’m going to have my fluid changed every 50k and Hope for the best.
Do it atleast every 30k
Gr8 vid, I am one of the lucky ones, I don’t have a CVT. I have a older 2001 Nissan Maxima, 203k miles
It did have P0744 code. And shifting and driving. Badly, almost impossible to drive. Drained fluid, it came out black/brown, no metallic tint or metal shavings. About 1gal came out. I added a little over qts of ATF (valvoline max life synthetic ATF and 1 bottle of Lucus transmission fix). I also cleared the code
Drove it 70 miles and the code came back but it was driving a lot better.
Continued to drive it
300 miles later it was say 70% better, Shifting from 1->2 had some issues but all other shifts were smooth and mostly on time.
600 miles later it was even better
900 miles later it was almost back to normal.
I cleared the code , and saw it was a little over full of ATF, so I pumped out some ATF to bring to right level.
Check engine light hasn’t come back
And it’s shifting consistently now, though the 1->2 shift sometimes happens a little over 3000 rpm.
Only time will tell if this has resolved the issue.
It is what it is, it’s old (19), high mileage car(203k)
Living on lift support , runs smoothly now and shifting ok now as well.
It leaks oil from rear mail seal that is tool costly to repair. It’s now my son’s first car. Hopefully he will get some years out of it. Maybe another 30-50k miles
AT-205 and high mileage oil seem to help.
I may drain ATF again sooner to get out more of the old fluid. A drain only gets out maybe 45% of ATF .
D Fields yes the converter ends up holding a significant amount of fluid when draining.
Bro thank you so much god bless you , you save me a lot money with you’re tutorial
Great job on the video, your voice is perfect for this
Thank you so much I try to insert the stepper motor arm and missed 4 time thank you
Is the spring connected to the stepper motor supposed to be stiff? Mine wasn't and the p1778 code returned.
Thanks your car guy
Managed to swap the solenoids with salvage one's but didn't work, code still on
hoping to get a new ones instead of wreck yard and try to see.
With Nissan sentra 2008, you have to unbolt every bolt on the valve body to drop it, just note it if you are trying on this car.
Here is my experience: I purchased a 2015 Nissan Murano new in July 2015. We had transmission issues starting week 1! Hesitation and then over acceleration were addressed with multiple software tweaks but never corrected the issue. My CVT transmission failed and was replaced under warranty by Nissan in June 2019 at 52,000 miles. Today 11-29-21, at 62,100 miles, my transmission failed again due to the transmission oil/cooler/radiator assembly failing to cause the cooling fluid and the transmission fluid to mix, resulting in having to replace the Transmission, Radiator, and associated assemblies for a cost to me of approximately $6,700! Based on my research, this is a known issue with Nissan CVTs but was only partially addressed in the Class Action lawsuit because individual owners had to personally sue Nissan and their vehicle models and years were the only ones included in the extended warranty. How a judge does not include all Nissan vehicles with the CVT is beyond me especially when my dealership was replacing three a week when my 2015 Murano's CVT was replaced. All my service was completed at the dealership and we never prevent any work from being done when required. The only upside is Nissan is paying for 80% of the repair but I am still paying out of pocket on something I believe should be fully covered. If I had an Altima with the same issue it would be covered under the class action suit extended warranty coverage but the same CVT with known issues in another Nissan model is not covered!
Subbed as well because unlike some UA-cam mechanics you actually do the work.
Travis Vaughan thank you
Your Car Guy DR I don’t have to reprogram anything when I replace the valve body do i
Travis Vaughan correct it does not need to be reprogrammed.
Your Car Guy DR ty for the info and video my toy car is a Lexus IS300 2jzge hope you make some vids on that car
Great informative video. Thank you for your time and energy.
On the valve body can you point to me which one is the line pressure solenoid please.. I have my valve body out but don't know which one I'm taking out. They all look like same
Great Job 👏 Very great teacher!
Thank you I love you for making this video having problems with my versa
Ok he only drove about 40 mph if we drive at full speed will the rpm gauge get to where it suppose to be
Thanks for the video. I just did this job on my sisters 2007 Nissan, would not have done it if it was not for your video. Like I said before, I got the same codes and the transmission went into limp mode, Took it to a shop and they could not figure it out and sent us to a transmission shop, they too did not know what the problem was as they are new to CVT, but curiously the shop I had just come from sent me to them with a paper copy of the Nissan bulletin stating that the Valve body should be replaced with those codes and symptoms. But the Trans shop said they think it is an electrical issue not a transmission issue after keeping it overnight and said we should take it to an electrical shop. So I said FK it, Studied the service bulletin and found your video and decided to try it out. The refurbished assembly I found on ebay was like $150 and it already had all the parts, Rods/spring/sensor etc so I did not have to move anything from the old CVT assembly to the new one. Your video saved me from screwing things up primary with the info on what bolts to remove to get the unit out (I would have been pulling all kinds of bolts out and made a mess) and how to use the Allen wrench to hold the rod in position while installing. The 2 most helpful points. I also did not need to remove the electrical bracket at all.
My fluid looked like motor oil and stunk the whole garage up, it was pretty burnt (luckily it looks like no damage to the rest of the CVT).
Got that all put back in no problem. But to keep this problem from coming back in the future I also installed an external cooler (small radiator) to keep the fluid temp from going into meltdown again.
I have been driving the car around town the last couple days to see if any issues come up before taking it on the longer commute to work (leaks/error codes - check engine light/ trans acting weird etc). error codes were erased and no code has returned as of yet and the trans seems to be functioning like a new car at this point. A day of work and maybe $300 total in parts and fluid. I can not imagine what a shop would have charged me to do the same job including parts considering I also installed a new block cooler with bypass to the new external cooler.
I will start driving it to work tonight and report back in a week or two.
Thanks again for the video and the replies to some of my questions, you were a huge help.
John Norris I am so glad to hear the video was helpful.
@@YourCarGuyDR month and a half in an no issues or codes yet.
John Norris that’s awesome.
The external cooler difficult to install? How did you figure how much more trabsmission oil to add with the cooler?
@@chinogodinez Pretty easy to install. I took out the top bolts that hold the radiator to the frame so I could lay it back a bit to give me room to work. Just pick the spot on the front of your existing radiator that you think eill get the best air flow and leaves a little room to rout your hoses for it and then you just mount by putting plastic stick like zip tie kind of things through/between the fins of the cooler and radiator. Easy. you will also need to replace the existing block mounted cooler with one that has the ports to allow the fluid to flow to the external cooler. as for the fluid, I just put the recomended ammount and idled the engine for a while through all gears then just checked the fluid level and added a little at a time till id was at proper lvl, I think it only took like an extra half qt. also check it daily for a couple days as the air works its way out and to watch for any leaks from any of the connections. To be safe I doubled up hose clamps on all the connections. so far no leaks and no issues, but the car has been mostly driven in the early morning or evening, no long distance drives in the hottest part of the day to really test the system out in the conditions it failed at.
Thanks for the video you help me so much and save me lots of money thanks again
Allan wrench reinstall OMG life saver, much love
Nice video thanks for making it
You have a subscriber for life!
I replaced the valve body inside the 2010 Sentra and the transmission speed sensor at the front of the engine. Do I need to have it reprogrammed to the tcm on that year model? Or should it move because it still will not move.
Do I have to reprogram the transmission afterwards or is it just “plug and play” because I reaplaced and the code clears then comes back(p1778 and p1777).
P0845 is a circuit code though, not a performance code. I have fixed these by changing the wiring harness bolted to the valve body for the solenoids. The wire was broken right where it went to the solenoid connector and if you pull it slightly it will come apart because its just held there by the insulation.
Never listen to anything nissan says about CVT's. Their fix for everything is to replace the cvt.
I just wanted to say thank you for saving me $3000. This is the single most helpful video I have found on this topic. Nissan quoted me $3000 to replaced the transmission and the techs said that the valve body couldn’t be replaced. I bought a valve body at a junk yard for $50 and now my car is fixed! If I could I would buy you a beer man 👍🏻👍🏻 I would also add one thing, while removing the bolts on the valve body number them with a sharpie so you know which bolts go where. Saved me a lot of headache
What codes was your car throwing when this happened, if you don’t mind me asking.
iam_andy I had codes P1778 which was for the stepper motor but I replaced the entire valve body since I had to remove it anyways to replace the stepper motor
iam_andy I also have a video on my channel showing the symptoms I was having
My car was throwing a P1778 as well. Nissan quoted me $3800 to change the whole transmission. I'll change out my valve body and hope that works!
D Hill did it work?
Do you know which solenoid is the pressure control solenoid b? Code can you I replace one I thought was it but it didn’t work.
Like did you have to kind of knock it down back over it??
Great video!
Great video! does anyone know the torque specs?
very helpful man I really appreciate this
So newer models like a 2012 you have to reprogram it at the dealership?
Great video
Great and amazing tutorial !
I'm about to start this nightmare I'll let you know how it goes thank you for the
Sir one question if I change valve and the valve number is different is it ok
Thank you for posting this video it’s great information. I have a question. I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra 2.0 cut transmission. While driving on the freeway it lost power it went from 60 mph to 40 mph, I made home but I notice that the vehicle wasn’t moving forward only backward, I put a scanner and read code P1777 and code P0845, I changed the stepper motor and after I changed the car now move for forward but not backward and here and then while driving it makes some sort of pull abd feel like it want to get stuck, so what do think my mechanic did wrong when he changed the stepper motor? I scanned again abd keep reading the same codes. Help please. Thank you
I would like to see the all prosses, that's the interesting part
What scanners will read the nissan transmission codes ? Nissan website says parts are discontinued...where can we find them and verify fit with vin # ? Great vid.
So sisters 2007 started acting up coming home from a couple hundred mile trip. Loud whine, speedometer stopped working and car was running in a lower gear and would not upshift. Took to a basic repair shop and they gave us a print out of that bulletin after doing basic diagnostics, told us codes were transmission related, We do have 2 of the codes listed. 840 and 845. They recommended a local transmission shop. We drove it to that shop (the car now running normally, weird) I have had it on short trips in town and it runs fine, but have not had it on the hwy, I thought it might be a PCM issue. The trans shop kept it for a day and told us they do not think it is the transmission but rather an electrical issue and recommended taking it to an electrical shop. What? They did admit they are new to CVT and do not quite understand them yet. But if the first shop found the bulletin saying if you have those codes then a valve body replacement is needed, why would a transmission shop ignore that and think it is not the valve body and think it is electrical issue? Do you think the shop is wrong? I did not notice the bulletin in our paperwork till after going back through it after watching your video. I offered the paperwork at the time to the trans shop but they did not seem to want it, just wrote down the codes. I plan on heading back over to the transmission shop later this week and ask them why they believe the issue is electrical and not a valve body issue. But just curious what you think. I will be looking for a different trans shop or maybe even the dealer. I am not really set up to do it myself being at an apartment complex. Also, is it common for the transmission to act up and then act normal with valve body issues?
John Norris the car in this video started having the same symptoms that you described and did it intermittently for several months before it was brought to me for repair. Many people will look at the codes and assume that it is a wiring issue which is partially true as the wiring and sensors that are part of the valve body are what is causing the issue. When your car sets the codes the transmission goes into limp mode. This is when it feels like it is running in a lower gear. Many times after you shut it off and restart it the codes will clear and it will drive normally. If the codes are cleared it will drive normally until it sets the code again. Many transmission shops only focus on mechanical failures and don’t do anything with the electrical part of the transmission.
great video
Whats the torque on the bolts?
So the question is i can i replace a single oil pressure one with a dual oil pressure version
What did you do with the pan gasket? Did you buy a new rubber gasket or did you use a tube of product, or both?
John Norris I used a new gasket.
Thanks for the good straight forward advice. I own a mechanic shop and this is a lot simpler than I thought it might me. You gave me the courage to NOT send this out to my rebuilder.
Ara Shahbandeh glad to hear it.
@@YourCarGuyDR I am desperate hoping you can help me. Just helped my friend but a new car she's a single mother and asked me to go to look at the car with her! Was running great til about 2 weeks later when we went to get it inspected. She spent all her money and now it's showing a p0840 (fluid press sensor /switch a) p0746 (pc solenoid A) . 08 sentra. Sometimes will drive fine other times erratic shifts loss of power etc. I know it's not my fault but I feel very guilty since I test drove it. Will changing the valve body help or should I just give up and try to help her get another car?
@@a1aexpressautoshipping389 I understand the situation you are in. Without being able to diagnose it myself and based on a good description from you I believe that changing the valve body should fix it. It is a known issue on these cars and the symptoms sound like it is going into limp mode from the bad solenoids. Make sure to check the wiring harness going to the transmission first for any damage or corrosion.
@@YourCarGuyDR you are amazing, that gave me the motivation to move forward and attempt this fix!! I will keep you updated parts should be arriving Sunday! Is there anyway I can pay you for your time to give me some more advice on this matter over the phone or email?
@@a1aexpressautoshipping389 just reach out if you need more advice.
I got a p0744 on my nissan juke and im going to be doing this to see if itbqill get rid of the code
Is this a JF011E VALVE BODY my jeep patriot one looks similar but I could be wrong
Good video good information
Do you know if i replace my transmission if i need the dealership to reprogram it? I have this same code remaining after i replaced the valve body with your video.
Very Good Video. Thanks so much.
Was this done on a 2.5 Altima or a 3.5 I’m trying to figure out if it’s the same process for both I have a 3.5 I’m planning on removing the valve body
Jay PipsIzCash this one was a 2.5
I got a nissan Altima s 2015 and the code is P2813 where does this located at
Just ordered valve body got it today about to change just wondering if I need to program anything if I’m only changing the valve body
Why did you get the same code?
that amazing how electrical wire inside oil pan
Thanks very detailed.. right on
What is the torque spect for valve body
Is this known to fix p0935, hydraulic pressure switch circuit high, i see there are two switches as well. Also can you link the tsb please?
Problem je u cincilatoru
Hello. how did you get your shift lever back on, to fit over that screw to screw it on like that??
You use 14mm spanner to unscrew it and screw it back when replacing. You can take a picture of the position of it so you don't miss it when replacing.
Great video! I have a 2007 nissan altima giving me the same code along with P0744. I had a similar problem a couple years ago with code P1777 and I just replaced the stepper motor. This time I decided to replace the whole valve body as in the video but It still gives me the same codes along with P0778 and P0745 so I am not sure what is going on. I replaced only 7 quarts since that is approximately what I collected when draining. I read on multiple sites that the TCM might need to be recalibrated or something like that since I replaced the entire part. Could that be the case?
Normally your TMC won’t need calibrated. If you clear the codes and they come right back I would start by inspecting the transmission wiring harness and the connectors under the battery area for corrosion or damage.
How much cost this job ? In the dealer ? Thanks
What is that sensor you pointed to?
besides reset of the code after install of valve body, is there anything else that needs to be don e. i have the nissan maxima 07 that needs to replace.
That’s it. Just reset the code and add the new fluid.
Would a dual solenoid valve body work on a 08 2.0 Nissan Sentra
nice video
What do they say the procedure is for code P0846?
I have a code on my 2016 Nissan Altima, P0841 transmission fluid pressure sensor/Switch circuit A range performance.Do you know if the valve bodies are the same or similar,and maybe I can change the sensor. Hoping that a new sensor will help as opposed to getting a new transmission. Any advice or opinions? Great video and very informative
Ash Rosa yes they are very similar. You can buy the sensors and solenoids separately. Make sure to check warranty first as many of these transmissions have extended warranty.
is this the same as 2013 nissan altima 2.5 L? getting a p0776code.
Great Video! Is there any reprogramming involved in replacing the valve body?
CEONTHEMAKING no programming is required.
@@YourCarGuyDR Thank you!
Is programming necessary for replacing a stepper motor on a Nissan Altima 2012
Yes. These are adaptive transmissions which means your computer takes into account your driving habits, fluid temperature, pressures, and everything going on inside your transmission and uses that info to dial in your shifting. When replacing any solenoids, sensors, valve bodies, rebuilds, ANYTHING in the transmission, you need to relearn the TCM so it can adjust for the new parts.
Sure maybe a temp sensor won’t be a big deal but relearning it won’t cause issues. You can burn out a transmission very quickly without the relearn process.
very good video for me, is it necessary to re-programm the transmission Modul or can you just "plug and play"?
Plug and play should work.
He drove it about 40 mph if we drive at full speed will the rpm gauge get to where it suppose to be
Tracy Curry if the rpms are very high at 40 mph and it feels like it isn’t shifting then it needs to be taken back apart and inspect the stepper motor. Make sure to use the Allen wrench to hold the stepper in place during assembly.
Great video I just ordered my valve body for my Nissan quest Did you have to program the new valve body? I’ve been told to install new valve body but reuse old wiring harness
No programming was required.
He got it in drove it about 2 miles the rpm gauge jumped back up to about 4 but check engine light didn't come on is there anything you think it could be
Tracy Curry if the car doesn’t get to full speed then the stepper motor is either bad or not installed correctly.
Excellent!! Thanks
Good evening can you tell me where I find the transmission oil pressure switch A. Got a code p0841.
I know this is an old thread. I have a 2013 Altima 2.5 S with code P0776. Have you swapped any valve bodies on newer ones such as mine ? Just wondering if programming "needs" to be done. Nissan says they cant program a used one only new ones from them. I want to get an ebay one but am concerned with programming.
I am unsure, however in most cases the programming is not required.
Hello sir I really appreciate this video one question is this valve body same as a 2010 Nissan Altima?? Let me know asap please and Thankyou.🙏🏿
