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 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.
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.
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!!!
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Hey mike ended up having to replace the whole valve body about 30,000 miles after this video. Sold the car right after so not sure how it’s holding up. Will never buy another CVT again lol
I did this but my car still broke and even worse lol now it don’t drive at all. Everything’s right besides I have this medal circle thing that I don’t know it where goes and i haven’t seen it in any other videos
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!!
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 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
My ratio control valve gets stuck doesn’t go in and out smoothly, the part that goes on to the stepped motor. The part that looks like a “T” could you give me some advice on how to fix that? Pls
I just finished and followed all instructions in this video and now looks like it has only 1st gear. Scanner it shows P1778 and P0868 low fluid pressure (2012 altima only took 6qts, not 11qts as shows in the video) What’s wrong?
Hi really like your video excellent I have 1 question which I need your assistance. I have a Nissan Altima 2.5 2004 starts good put in gear runs good all gears shift but the minute you stop on a speed bump or a complete stop it will not shift again will only runs in first gear. In order for it to shift I have to shut the vehicle down and start again then it will shift, but have to do it every time I stop. What can you recommend I can do. Thanks will appreciate your help.
Help, please! I followed the steps in the video, but now the car will not move fwd or back when I shift to reverse or drive. I did notice that on the video the rod was all the way in out next to the little lever with the 14mm bolt but on my car is wa all the way in.
Hi, many thanks for this video! I need your help, would really appreciate. I have a different car, but same transmission. If you don't put the Allen wrench to prevent the linkage from the stepper motor from moving, what happens? Does it prevent it from shifting or the car doesn't move at all? I had the shop do solenoids replacement (one was stuck, the car wouldn't move), now it moves, but they say it doesn't shift. And there are no codes so far, as they say. So I've watched your video and realized that they might not know this. Thank you!
I have a 2010 nissan rogue cvt level is good but 80% of the time when shifting from P to R or D it shifts pretty hard, any idea if a bad valve body could be the culprit? (Mounts are good)
Hi, I followed this video which was very helpful in helping me replace the stepper motor. Mine worked after replacing the motor. However, after 6 days of working fine, the problem came back again. I'm getting P1778 code again and the Nissan rogue won't go faster that 55mph. Any advise on what could be causing the problem to resurface? I did notice that the variator which the motor is connected to wasn't moving smoothly but wasn't sure if that's normal.
Best video I've seen o this cvt I was looking for input on holding that swivel fork that is held with that access hole doesn't body know if that round pin that sits inside of transmission and wraps around by that swivel fork is that piece supposed to move freely or not
Spent $550.00 to have this stepper motor replaced in my daughters 2012 Nissan Altima with 158,000 miles on it…Essentially flushed that $550 🦌’s down the 🚽 as the repair didnt fix her POS CVT transmission!! Intermittently comes & goes, specially when on a hill! Any body have any other ideas besides replacing the transmission ($5-$6k) ?!? 😡
Just another piece of advice for you all. I replaced my stepper motor but it didn’t work. I realized I needed to change the valve body BECAUSE I noticed the ratio control valve/rod was jamming therefore not allowing the ratio to change. This also causes a 1778 code because the stepper motor is connected to it. So make sure the rod slides in and out without difficulty.
@@sidog if you replace the valve body keep the same ROM (small black square box it’s the computer basically) from your original valve body. Switch out the little black box mounted on to the side and you will not have to reprogram it.
@@torredrakeford7825 wow, thx for the quick response. I fwded ur reply to my mechanic in case he was unaware. Just like u I replaced the stepper motor first. Now I'm replacing the valve body. Thanks again for the response 👍
It's REALLY NOT that difficult. Most important tips, keep your hands clean, keep track of all the varying size bolts and where they go, TORQUE EVERYTHING back to spec, and obviously anticipate the costs to refill with fresh fluid. Christ sake don't use guess work on tightening 50 cent bolts on a 4500.00 CVT transmission. OH and don't be the idiot who uses their DeWalt drill to install the bolts, save the DeWalt for another day 😂
Appreciate Buddy! I have same issues on my 2012 Nissan Xtrail 2.5 auto 4wd, replace the step motor, but seems running no gears, it does have gear auto change before, i did put a long pin to that hole before put value body back, anything wrong?
I swapped out the stepper motor and fluid along with cooler and it seems like it’s stuck in low gear only.car will speed up but the engine will rev to the moon if you let it, not slipping just stuck in low gear
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!
I had similar issues...being mechanically inclined I thought transmission right away...but in fact Nissan sentra 2015 have issues with the throttle body...clean your throttle body on your engine and it could be the solution...after 30k miles of this issue it went away when I cleaned mine
Fantastic video. Procedure was spot on. My only issue is it stays stuck in basically 1st gear. Before it felt like it was stuck in the highest gear. Any thoughts as to what the issue is? Or what I did wrong?
Your wife or mother (depending on how old you are and if you are married or not) is going to murder you for ruining her towel! Lol im just guessing being my wife would slaughter me if I did that to one of her towels lol thanks for the video bro, good job!
Well I I finally replaced it then I found out I couldn’t shift gears and it was really hard… I don’t know what’s wrong it even gave me another code p1777 instead of the 17778 I had before I replaced it
Having these same issues with 2007 altima 2.5 s 277k miles, but it's not showing any codes. I've replaced both speed sensors on the transmission and the problem persists. Without the codes present, should I still try to replace the stepper motor and see if that helps or would you assume it is something else causing this issue?
I have codes for pressure control solenoid & torque converter clutch solenoid.. this will pretty much be the same job right? Will I need to worry about the Allen wrench thing replacing those? Any tips much appreciated
Hi i changed the step motor, now i have the code p0868 low pressure fluid, and the trasmission is not shifting, it goes high RPM. At 20mile per hour iam at 6000rpm. Please help
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 did everything step by step and all gears were drive. i got back in and realigned the little lever thing and now all gears are neutral. i got back in AGAIN and swapped to the old step motor and i still have no gears. its throwing p1777 after changing it out and it was p1778 before changing. i dont know what to do
Can anybody help me pls....got the same symptoms...car wont pass first gear......but no code...do you guys recommend me change this step motor on my transmission?
followed the steps, easy enought. car changes gear but it will not shift at all. did i miss something or i might have a bad step motor. will need to go back down to recheck everything. any suggestions will help.
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.
One year and you have all that Clutch dust and shaving metals at the Pan ,no wonder Nissan is going down the Toilet, Thanks for sharing your Knowledge 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😬
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…….
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…….
Should definitely not be letting that trans fluid get all over your hands and skin bro that is super bad for you, 😮 wear gloves and protect yourselves people
Dont you clean the connections with maf flow censor cause they are full of oil because they sit inside the transmission and disconnecting might cause some oil to leak inside the plugs??
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 TH-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

Without the codes present, should I still try to replace the stepper motor and see if that helps or would you assume it is something else causing this issue?
I have codes for pressure control solenoid & torque converter clutch solenoid.. this will pretty much be the same job right? Will I need to worry about the Allen wrench thing replacing those? Any tips much appreciated
Hi i changed the step motor, now i have the code p0868 low pressure fluid, and the trasmission is not shifting, it goes high RPM. At 20mile per hour iam at 6000rpm. Please help
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!
Look like same instructions as far as internal bolt removal applies to Rouge 2008
Do you have a link on where to buy the stepper motor from? I need one ASAP and $25 is better than EBAY @ $149
Nice!!! mines is out along wt the pressure and temp sensor so imma swamp valve body
i did everything step by step and all gears were drive. i got back in and realigned the little lever thing and now all gears are neutral. i got back in AGAIN and swapped to the old step motor and i still have no gears. its throwing p1777 after changing it out and it was p1778 before changing. i dont know what to do
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 😂
So when you take the pan off, is going to leak the 11 quarts cvt fluid you put in at the end?
just making sure so i start to order the fluid.
I may attempt this on a 2011 Altima 2.5S It has a code for the step motor problem. Thanks for the video
Wow just saw 11 qrt waaa I know this procedure works but Nissan recommended 5 to 6 is max guess it's a typo
Did not help my car. It helped a little bit but the transmission still slipped whenever put pressure on tranny. Ended up replacing it
GREAT Job for a young kid. Next time use a large Tarp to Save your driveway.
Can anybody help me pls....got the same symptoms...car wont pass first gear......but no code...do you guys recommend me change this step motor on my transmission?
followed the steps, easy enought. car changes gear but it will not shift at all. did i miss something or i might have a bad step motor. will need to go back down to recheck everything. any suggestions will help.
I got the code p17f1 cvt judderr, but all my car has is a whining noise while idle that goes away when my car goes above 5mph.
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.
One year and you have all that Clutch dust and shaving metals at the Pan ,no wonder Nissan is going down the Toilet, Thanks for sharing your Knowledge 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😬
Great job buddy
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...
thank you. what causes the step motor malfunction. I have replaced 2 in a span of 4 months.
What is the part number from nissan for this piece for 2.5 4-cylinder?
Quick question prolly dumb, but this will work with a 2012
Why only the transmissions insert 10 yes old or under 120,000 miles... these cvt trannies have been the issue w these cars period.
Should definitely not be letting that trans fluid get all over your hands and skin bro that is super bad for you, 😮 wear gloves and protect yourselves people
Awesome video! My son's car similar issue and codes. Another time I would have tried this. Need to bring it in...
Thank you so much for this helpful information! Having the same issues.
Very knowledgeable and he makes it easy to follow step by step instructions! Thanks!
Great video 09 rogue had to take down the valve body couldn’t have done without this video thanks bro 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Because of you and this video p1777 code is now gone!!! Thank you!!!!
Big thanks. This video was really helpful. Glad you blew past that 50 likes.
Really very thankful for ur video (Thank u from Egyptian Guy)
Dont you clean the connections with maf flow censor cause they are full of oil because they sit inside the transmission and disconnecting might cause some oil to leak inside the plugs??
I have a 2013 nissan altima sv 2.
5.will that part b the same and fit?i am having g the same acceleration issues.
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 TH-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
So just watched this and was literally the best , then I look and see no more videos , 😢 is there a different channel??
