Thats pretty weird! I’d look on forums and see someone might have the same problem but that seems like something faulty obviously if it’s bad then works randomly yk. Sorry I couldn’t really help with that, I’m not too sure.

@@stanleyjacobs851 hi, I ended up buying a used one and putting it in there and it worked great without any problems and it only cost me $100 off of a friend. I would see if any used cars or junkyards would have them because that would probably be the best option pricewise. I’m guessing the process wouldn’t be too much different, but I would look to make sure!

@@JuanSanchez-he4cr I would try that yes, to reset the ECU since that is a pretty quick way of trying something. I’m not exactly sure why it’s doing that since I had mine in park and didn’t have to mess with that, but one thing I have seen is the gear selector that comes from tranny and has a slot on the valve body could be off, which could cause the car to not recognize or not start.

@ it eventually works but the reason I change my valve body is because when it transitions from gear 3 to 4 it revs up high and it kinda jerks once

@ that’s good! Yeah I’ve seen that. Mine wouldn’t shift past 3rd gear lol

@@randallsemrau6911 I realized that, so I tried to explain the sides with like “passenger or driver side” instead of “right or left” lol Srry for the confusion

I bought it off of Amazon but I can’t find the link anymore I think the exact one I got are no longer being sold. Sorry about that!

I appreciate you bro! 🤝🏼

@@jozefgabor5867 for your exact model there should be something online for it. But for mine basically I know when it’s enough when there is a very small stream that flows out when the car is warmed up and leveled.

Hope it works for you too! Probably since mine wasn’t programmed that’s why it didn’t work, but I hope for you it will being already programmed

Where did you buy yours and for how much?

Hi, come to think of it when I do hit bigger bumps with the hitch in I do hear a sound, but I don’t know if that’s the hitch moving around the receiver or if that’s what you’re talking about. I only hear it when I have the hitch in there so I’m thinking that’s what it is.

@@markzinchukSo the item that you are installing @ 3:23 is not moving for you? Is it tightly bolted against the center block?

@@allahdaniel212I can check but I think mine is tight between.

Yeah I installed it but it never came with any wiring stuff so as of now I still have no lights lol. I know on Amazon and stuff theres kits for it.

I just unplugged the green male plug and left the black female part in there. That’s what I can recall and from what I did in the video. It’s been about a year since the job so sorry if I don’t remember everything exactly 😂

@@ferny1479 I would probably advise not getting higher milage but I don’t think it really matters. My car had 44k miles and the used valve body I put in had around 100k and it’s been around a year since I did it and still no issues with the new owner!

did you swap the original TCM onto the used valvebody?

@@ferny1479 I just put the used valve body in with whatever tcm was on it already.

@@markzinchukok thanks

@@ferny1479 no problem!

@@andryabhd9030 I’m not exactly sure. Id look it up if they’re the same transmissions!

@@Rebil787 No problem, glad I could help!

@@steelheartg No problem! Just here to help!

Since the remanufactured one did not work, I ended up buying a used one off of my brother that had a parts G 37. I’m not 100% sure where else to find them but maybe call around some junkyards and see if they have it. Good luck!

Yes, I know they recommend some thing thinner, but due to a rattle, I am trying to put something thicker. Also I’ve been using the same oil for a while and it has been perfectly fine for me!

@@tru_qs I’ve seen other people have the same thing. One thing could be the gear selector thing in the wrong position. Other wise I’m not completely sure but if you look on forums and I believe in these comments some people have the same issue!

@@markzinchuk It probably is, but how do I make sure the gear selector is positioned right, my check engine light also went away.

So unfortunately to check is by opening it back up. When changing the valve body on the pass side of the car, there’s a grey thing that pulls out and in that should line up and go into a slot on the tranny. It’s kind of hard to explain lol

I didn’t have that happen to me so I don’t want to give you the wrong information, but, I know that is how the select thing works and has to be in the slot. I almost put mine together before double checking and the grey thing wasn’t in the slot so I had to get it in there

I’ve seen some people said to make sure it’s in neutral but I did mine in park and it worked perfectly

@@shsk8880 I bought the used valve body off of someone I know for $100. I’m not honestly sure how much junk yards charge.

@@TrinityParaziader thanks for the information and letting other people know!

@@markzinchuk Sure. No problem. I got a lot of my information off Q50 forums. So I had a code for P0720 and so I changed the speed sensor. That took me a long time because I had to pull the exhaust and the back of the transmission to change it. It was 115° outside all weekend (I live in Nevada). After all that it didn’t fix it. I was so bummed. I joined some Q50 forums and saw how many people had that same problem and they replaced their TCM. One guy uploaded the factory Infinity transmission manual. So I printed that to learn how to replace the valve body. So that was cool to have. But it takes me way longer than most people because I follow each step to a tee. But I think anyone can do it themselves. There is no reason to pay a dealer to do it.

@@TrinityParaziader Yeah I definitely agree I had to do mine twice since the reman in the video didn’t work but I swapped in the used one and it worked. I did it with 2 jack stands in my driveway. Wasn’t too fun, but definitely through some determination possible! Dealerships definitely is too expensive. Doing it yourself is part of the experience too lol!

​​@@TrinityParaziader @TrinityParaziador glad to hear you didn't have to reprogram, when you purchased did you have to provide infiniti with your VIN? I heard they may program it for you with that when you do, but no sure how true that is Also how many miles is your 3.0 and how much was the rental in total? I have 2 Jack stands but not sure if I needed 4

@@l3gacy430 Okay yes I did have to give them my VIN to buy it from Infinity but they had it in stock. I know that no one programmed it because everything was sealed as tight as a drum. The parts guy went to the back and pulled it off the shelf and handed it to me. Its wrapped in cloth, and sealed inside two bags and then packed into a box. So the jack and jackstand rental was $75 a day. But here’s the thing, if you rent them on a Friday and return them on Monday it is only a one day rental. That’s the way to go. My car has 47,800 miles on it. So that seems early for the TCM to go out but the way I see it, the car is paid for. Its 8 years old and that’s the only thing that has gone wrong. It’s cheaper than a monthly car payment so that makes it easier for me to justify spending that kind of money to fix it

Yes, from my experience, the rein Irbid ones on eBay needs to be programmed. I bought mine already used off of another random G37 at a junkyard with the same transmission as mine. And after that it worked for me without any programming!

@@markzinchuk thanks for the info , my car is a q70 can’t find them in junkyard I wonder what other ones will work it’s a 7 speed transmission

@@edmonmayfield2446 Yeah gotcha, basically any of your same model with same transmission!

@@markzinchukyo bro how much was the new valve body from the junk yard ?? Im having the same issue with q50

@shsk8880 I bought the used one from a friend of mines parts g37 for around $100. Not completely sure how much junkyards sell them for.

I never ended up getting the light hook up on it. There’s some sort of module I think for LEDs, but I never got to do it.

There are videos out there, though explaining it

Lights are fairly easy. You need the powered unit. I added a fuse tap to the luggage fuse box for 12v switched power and ran it to the left tail light compartment. On the unit you connect the power to your 12v, as well as the brown marker lights (technically this should be controlled by your headlights but I just left them always on). Ground goes to a vehicle ground, as well as your red brake wire. We don’t have a separate brake light, turn signals and brake are the same. Yellow wire goes to your left brake light. Mine was an orangish pinkish wire. Green wire goes to your right brake light, same color. You could run the trailer plug down to your hitch, I just leave mine coiled up inside the compartment until I need it, and gently close the tailgate. It doesn’t seem to pinch the wire.

@babate1337 thank you for the explanation!

Thanks for posting the video.. helped out a lot.

I looked on the Internet and found how much I was supposed to put in. The trick I learned which in the video I said, I didn’t understand, is that the car has to be level and you have to pump it with fluid and then run it to warm shifts to the gears, and then pump it more until once you take the pump out you’ll see the slight stream. If it’s flowing out a lot , then it might be too much, and if a bunch of bubbles, it might not be enough. A small stream should be enough, but I would look online and there are some great TH-cam videos on how to do exactly.

I’m glad to hear that it has helped you! Yeah, doing the job yourself can be a pain, but can save you some good money in the end! I’m honestly not sure about that, sorry.

@markzinchuk I'll post a follow and hopefully that will help folks as well.

Sounds good!

I bought a used one with a tcm on it and it worked! I’m not sure if you do without it though I haven’t looked into that

Yes, on the 2008 and 2009 I believe, but once they put in the 7 speed it doesn’t have a dipstick.

I appreciate it!

@@markzinchuk i have a glk 2013, this video Will be helpful

@@un.gatocurioso I’m glad!!

Yes, you are correct. If you get a refurbished one you would also have to get that programmed. I did the same with mine, and put a remanufactured one in there and it didn’t fix my issue and I had to program but I didn’t know that at the time. But, I ended up putting a used one in there from another g37 with my same transmission and put it in there and fixed my problem without any reprogramming necessary. It’s way cheaper and worked!

@@markzinchuk how do you reprogram them? Do I have to take it to dealer and If so typically how much to reprogram

@JaredAlston-on7lo I honestly do not know the answer to that one. At least for me, I called around and there are certain shops and places that do reprogramming, but I didn’t end up going with it so I’m not sure how much they charge.

@TitansRossi no problem!

And what do you do about power to the trailer for turn signals and brakes, since this has no power source on the hitch?

​@@NOBUxDrillz Interesting, did not even think about that.

Hey so I have a 06 g35 sedan and I just bought the same transmission and the same model and trim the 5 speed automatic for like 130 off a dude it got 140,000 miles on it instead of replacing the whole transmission I just want to replace the valve body because I got the front brake solenoid code so if I take the one out the new transmission I got and put it in my car will it work and wouldn’t need programming

Hey, from my experience, I was able to take a used valve body off of another G37 with the same trim and transmission as mine and it fixed my issue without any programming . I would think that it would work for you as well. I don’t want to mislead you or say something for sure, I just want to tell you from my experience that it did work, so I guess take it as you see fit!

@@markzinchuk so when you finish did you reset the code itself and the check engine light went away?

@@kxithdifferent2123 Yes, when I finished, the lights went away

@@markzinchuk ok I did it all and when I tried to turn the car on it say 3rd gear instead of park and it won’t turn on

Hey, in the video I put in the remanufactured one and that one would need a reprogram. What I ended up doing was putting in a used one from another g37 with the same transmission, I have I swapped it in and fix the issue perfectly without any reprogramming

@@markzinchuk did you get one from the same year model and trim

@funky3683 I actually got one from an older g37 but it HAS to be the same transmission. It doesn’t have to be same trim just same transmission!

Like for example, some of the old G37 have the 5 speed auto, and that will not work. What you need to do is get one with the same exact transmission. Like I have the 7 speed auto and I took it off of an older 7 speed auto, G37

@@markzinchuk thanks I thought it would I just wanted to make sure the ds and manual mode will still work

I just screwed them down, pretty snug. I know there’s a certain torque to them, but I just snugged them down pretty tight, making sure to not do too much.

Everything is 70 INCH LBS including the pan bolts. About 6 FT LBS

just screw it tight

Yes! It’s was PO720

Hey, if I 100% honest I’m not really sure. I would love to help but when I did mine, it was in park as well and came out of park as it normally would. I’ve seen other people have this issue, so maybe you can find forums or something that has the same thing. Sorry that I couldn’t help with this one.

Best of luck to you!

The people you kno who had the same issue, still have the same problem now?

Or they jus said forget it and sold it because I’m thinking it’s side I did not put the gear selector in the right place ima try that when I get bck to my car but I will surely let you kno because I learned off of your video.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 big ups to you

@@djandfam4868 Yeah, the people that had the same issue. I’m honestly not sure what happened with their situation because some of them did not get back to me. But what you just said is well I’ve seen before as well aware, maybe the gear selector was not put in the right spot or something. I’m glad I can help you with the video , thank you!!

So with the remanufactured one that I had in the video didn’t work. I think they do have to be programmed though. But an even cheaper option that I did after the video was bought a used valve body off of another g37, put it in and it fixed the issue without any programming or anything!

Hey, honestly, I’m not exactly sure with the new ones if you would need programming. Pretty sure you don’t but I’m not 100% sure on that. I actually ended up getting a used one from a junkyard for way cheaper and put it in and it worked perfectly without any programming or anything. That would save a lot of money as well.

​@@markzinchuk so what did this part cost $ ?

@@onieshianapoleon2547 the remanufactured part I believe was around $300. I ended up returning it though and bought a used one for $100

@markzinchuk where can I get a used one for a 2015 3.7 q50

@@jessearellano5664 I bought mine off of a friend who had a parts G37 but if you don’t know anyone that has one I would say look if someone is doing a part out or if any junkyards have them. I think that would be the best bet for the price.

It was off of a 2010 g37 7 speed auto

Hi, yes at the time I was confused on the fill up process. After researching and watching other videos, I figured out the whole process and the steam and all that. I ended up putting too much in them took some out. Now I’m at the correct level! Thanks for the feedback!

With the remanufactured one you would need to get it reprogrammed because mine didn’t work after the video. I ended up buying a used one off of another g37 and didn’t need any calibration process or anything like that. So I ended up returning the manufactured one. In my opinion, I was strongly suggest just going with a used one.

It doesn’t have to be be same year, just same transmission like you said it has to be the 7AT. Mine came off of a 2010 g37 and I have a 2014 and it worked! It

How much did they charge you? My 2015 Q70L just done this same thing 2 days ago

@levilee6488 I ended up buying the used valve body for around $100 off of a friend. I did the replacement and fluid change and everything myself in the driveway lol. Not fun but saves money.

Did it work

The remanufactured, one that you see in the video did not work. I just bought a used valve body off of another G37 and it fixed the issue without any programming or anything

i didnt have those issues with mine, mine like bogs down or goes to really high gears at low speeds, so im vr30 trans swapping it

Hey, yeah I’ve heard of other people having the same issue. I only had the not shifting past 3rd gear issue but it did always display the gear up in the cluster. Unfortunately I’m not sure what that issue would be so I can’t really help w that but after putting in a used valve body in it fixed my issue with no problems!

How much do they charge?

Hey, yes, after fixing it the gear did show in the cluster. I did hear another issue of someone else is that they fixed it in the neutral gear and then it only starts in that gear and when you shut it off it has to be in the same gear. So maybe that could be an issue but about the thing where it’s not showing on the display, I honestly don’t have any idea, sorry man!

@@markzinchuk as of now I have a U1000 code and trans is acting really weird! lol I guess ima change out the valvebody or check the TCM for cracks in the contractors

@@IDKWHYIDOTHISSHIT yeah I didn’t get that code so I’m not 100% sure what I’d recommend. For me, it was giving me the PO 720, and the PO 500. These combined were giving me having to change the speed sensor that is connected to the valve body. After going to mechanic, they didn’t really do much, so I ended up doing it myself, putting in a used valve body, and it fixed my issue! Again, I’m not exactly sure what code you running and it goes towards, but at least for me, it worked! Hope I can help!

@@markzinchuk I will drop the trans oil pan and check the TCM for damage this weekend fingers crossed

I wish you luck, man! If you’re trying to look at the speed sensor or something on the valve body for damage, I’m not really sure what you’re going to see, but maybe you know more than me and you know what you’re looking for lol. For the code you got, What was it saying on the code?
