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!

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.

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..

Hi, thank you so much. I've sent it to my mechanic, as you're the first person actually showing what I was experiencing!

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.

Wow spot on. I honestly like the bit where you introduced us to the hole to pin the link pin into position.

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 KZread 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

Thank you for the diagram…I needed to know what bolts come out thank you sooo much

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.

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.

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!

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!

Nice work!! The best are those who share their mistakes so others can learn.

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!

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.

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.

Because of you and this video p1777 code is now gone!!! Thank you!!!!

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.

Hey, how many quarts you put back in?

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)
