BLOODY AWESOME VIDEO, you saved my butt. Thank you, I could hug you.

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 .

Great Job 👏 Very great teacher!

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!

Nice video thanks for making it

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.

@@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.

very helpful man I really appreciate this

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.

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.

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).

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.

Thanks really good video thanks

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

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?

@YourCarGuyDR

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.

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.

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?

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.
