- This is a transmission of a 2005 Nissan Maxima. On this video you will see the common problem that are associated with this unit. Although there is rumors out there that a simple valve body swap or new solenoids or even a shift kit will cure your problem, here we see the opposite. I know that 50% of your shifting issues can be solenoid and valve body related, but some drivers push their cars to the limit causing severe damage as you can see here.

Dude .... you are absolutely amazing with your gift of not only disassembling the unit but the way you express and explain what you are doing . You should definitely be praised for what you do . God bless your determination and drive in making all of us understand and handle our fix. Please keep doing what you do to help us. Great job.
A pleasure watching someone perform his job with ease. When you know, you know. Subscribed!
You are the "homme"! I have a local guy trying to sell a great looking V70 for cheap but I now know I will not try and attempt to buy and fix it being this trans is way beyond my patience threshold and wallet to try an fix for a weekend project. You do great things here Sir and we can't thank you enough! Keep em coming!!
Great video thank you! I have a 2003 XC90 with 180k miles and the diagnostic software tells me I have a problem with the SLT and no.5 solenoid. I was toying with the idea of getting it fixed but I realise now how much work and cost is potentially involved and with the age and mileage you've helped me decide it's not worth it. Really educational video. I love watching people who know what they're doing!!
You are excellent at what you do.. I can appreciate your ability and your knowledge ..
Great video Hiram! You work so much faster than I do!
Excellent video! This helped me understand what might be wrong with my aw55-50sn, thanks from the uk!
Fantastic teardown, information and over info provided. The biggest thing taken away is doing your routine maintenance ini regard to fluid change saves thousands of dollars like always on these Nissan transmissions. Use Nissan Matic or Amsoil at manufacturer recommended intervals or sooner to be on the safe side.
you sir are a smart man i just finished auto trans class at tech school and iam still blown away by them wrench on my friend!
hi Hiram, thanks for passing so much info. i appreciate your video big-times. thanks again.
Your a beast at rebuilding front wheel drives !!! I will stay with motors only.
I'll have to watch this 5 more times before I try this!!! on my 2001 V70 XC !
Thanks for the Acute Elaboration & Distinction Hiram about Misdiagnosing the Valve Body on this transmission!
Very interesting video. Old but still relevant in 2024. Thanks.
Great video. Learning a lot about this transmission (it is in my 2002 Volvo S40).
Excellent work Sir. Thank you for sharing. Charles from Mesa, AZ ♥
you the man when it comes to this, I have a 04 Nissan maxima se, and when I put it on reverse, it hits hard, and I don't want to drive it. I was hoping that looking at your videos I can fix it myself cause I don't have the money to send it to get fix. but thanks for your videos its cool...
Amazing video...can not find asembly video...i realy miss that...thanks for showing the automatic knowlegde
ATSG has a technical manual for this unit that covers all vehicle makes. It is staggering... I've read a lot of service manuals and know a lot about working on cars. This manual is something you really need to go to school to understand. That being said, I'm still going to rebuild when the time comes, and fortunately I have a lot of time to learn before I have to do it.
Amazing skills man!! I dont think id ever be able to put one of these back together
@Maciek Bokina Lmao a bit late on the reply bahd but five years later and yeah I’d be able to put one back together 😅
Thank you sir. Your videos are great. I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos for us. Please keep it up.
Hello sir you do great work i rebuild cars for a living any engine you name it. But when it comes to transportation of transmission you are great i don't dare even try to work on it. The clutch got it doing what you do it becomes all Alien technology lol 😆 I don't have the patience for that. Good work 👏 I would recommend you to a lot of people because you seem very comfortable and honest in your work GOD BLESS keep it up the world need people like you.
Awesome vid, i love watching stuff like this
This guy is transmission genius...
Hiram thanks for the information it is great. I appreciate your experience.
Wow it is amazing to watch a Master of his craft. Thank you.
How can we find your shop we all need a vw master
Awesome video. Would be great with a video showing rebuild with overhaul kit for the AW55-51SN as well!
Muy bien tus videos Sr Hiram.ótimo trabalho.Deus el Bendice
Hiram is THE MAESTRO! Just rebuilt a AX4N tried to find a HG video on this one and disappointed to find none
Thanks for the video u r truly good at what u do
Very good the classes
really enjoyed
He makes it look sooooo easy. I would like to see him put it back together again. I bet it is a lot trickier.
I wanna break my trans just so I can pay you to fix it! Great job !!!
Exelente Gutierrez, desde venezuela reciba un cordial saludo y que sigas cosechando exitos.
Another great video! Thank you!
It was a very informative video great job you make it look easy but I know its not. thumbs up.
the scary tihing is your knowlege and skill makes it look too easy :D
Wow.. ur awesome! My 06 maxima just started to act up, I babied it home and that's where will it will sit until I find someone like you! Thank god for having a second car, so once its rebuilt I should be good ? No need to trade it off ? Only 69,000 miles now.. just changed fluid 1,000 miles ago , go figure.. Thanks much!
MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!! SUPER VIDEO !!!!;
He did very good job he explain every parts take them out which part bad
You are amazing !!! Thanks
I fixed the problem with my Volvo transmission with a rare earth magnet.
I simply placed the magnet on the valve body pan. After driving for a few days it shifted perfectly
@6:32 I think Sonnax has these special metal retainers out now that you can put on the electrical connectors for the linear solenoids in case they get broken trying to disconnect them so you can still use them.
Great job Hiram I'm a first time visitor
Keep up the good work!
Good video I like it and is very helpfully.Thank you
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I have a question here: Is there any difference between this unit AW55-51SN and the unit AW55-51? Thanks in advance.
You are awesome. I watched your 4l60e video twice and then rebuilt mine in my truck. Works like brand new. Question on this one is this the same that is in an 05 Altima? Thanks again
Another great transmission video. Have not had the chance to do this unit yet, but now looking forward to it. Question: What method do you use to remove the small bushings out of the planets and the direct shaft? Looks like using a punch would be tough.
Thanks!
Blown away with the complexity of the AW transmission and especially your expertiese, a privillage to watch. I am about to renew the fluid (Gibbons) on my 2005 V70 112,000mls for the first time, runs fine at the moment. I somehow wish I had not watched this, especially at the "high mileage is about 100,000mls" comment 🙄 Get as much of the fine floating metal particles out as possible.
Love this guy! this is weird to ask here but im loosing my mind! I have Renault with same transmission. Issue it has is that i loose D after tranny warms a bit. If its cold it Works like charm. Sometimes it does that when i put on N or R it goes to D. I took valvebody out and got new one in (i made sure solenoids had same adjustment as in old one) new oil in it and correct level but sitll no go. I know this is long shot that guru c this msg but i have no clue what to do…
Hi Hiram, Excellent video and I am very happy that you have extra talent in explaining very useful things through your experience with those trans. I have 2001 volvo s40 and same trans crashed and no signs of connectivity with the engine. I am going to remove and inspection. Before I watched your video. Thanks for your time. Do you have any clue about my problem ?
Very good video, You have a new subscriber. Thanks Hiram. I have not yet looked through your other videos. Could you do a breakdown of the common saturn sl1 say 95-99. Its a cheap high mpg vehicle and im thinking about buying one. Thanks again.
absolutely superb!
Hiram very nice video man Grats
Hiram, you're fantastic ... an asset to any business! I previously overhauled (well, assisted my journeyman) Borg Warner Jaguar XJ6 boxes during my apprenticeship years in the mid 80s ... I'm a bit wary of touching these 'electronic' boxes. You seem quite at ease, what exactly is required on the diagnostic side? Here in South Africa Volvo charge +-R45,000 (+-USD2,800) for a recon XC70 (P2) gearbox, I could do it for substantially less... if I had the diagnostic machine.
Intelligente hermano gracias x Los videos
The video is fantastic . However, you did mention in one of your videos that you do not want to be contacted by phone, but how about by email? I want to be your on line trainee. Your are amazing. Bisi
and to think... he's gonna put this thing back together. Great video - but now, I'm scared.
Exact situation I’m going through now.
You have convinced me that I will never try to tear down a transmission. You are a professional, and I am not. I hope flushing my Volvo's transmission will fix my problem. If not, I will either have it professionally serviced or scrap the car. I'd like to change the filter. Why in the world did they bury it inside the transmission?
Спасибо!!! (Thank you)
Hiram, I hope you are still posting these great videos. On the last clip I watched (about the THC 350) You mentioned that you were concerned that not enough people were subscribing. There may be a reason. MANY people are now watching Utube clips on the new model "smart" TVs. These show ONLY the video with no surrounding text or controls, so it is impossible to subscribe/like etc from the TV. Encourage people or hang up a text sign in the background, to log on via a PC so they can subscribe. ALSO use ads in your clips, you will get rich from the ad revenue.
Hi Hiram. Thank you so much for posting these vids for us. I'm Fascinated by transmissions and have tore into a couple. Please answer a question. My af33 has no engagement in any gear even though the range shaft is moving with the shift cable. Short of the detent spring being broken or misaligned, will a stuck closed slt solenoid cause no line pressure? Any thoughts? I did get various tranny codes but they went away and didn't return after they were cleared. That's why I'm suspecting the broken detent issue over sticking solenoids. Thank you in advance. Keep trannying!!!😁
Thanks for all the videos, perfect and very helpful. I wanted to ask you or anyone here, in the minute 10, exactly, you (Hiram) said "get this thing out of the way..." and hit a plastic behind the valve body, can you (or someone) tell what is the "thing"? Is it very important to put it back? Thanks. I'm working on a AW55-51N for a Volvo C70 2007.
Can't believe this little thing puts down that power.. I have an 05 Volvo s60R, 230k, well maintained. Original trans shifts decent, not real problems. I've got this converter slip of about 500 rpm or so in 3rd sometimes. I know they do have the slip built in but this seems double. It will hold rpm then increase speed by near 20 mph before converter locks back up like a cvt feel for a few seconds. As i add more power it seems to be more pronounced. So before adding more power I'm doing a transgo shift kit to make everything better, I hope.. I need to get vida going again to run the adaptation.
Hopefully this will improve some of the shift characteristics
one of thebest viedos
thank you
Thank you
hi
i have a Volvo and am looking for a video off assembling this type of unit...cant find any anywhere..like your videos..they have helpt me alot
Did you break off a bolt head at 2:35?
THANK YOU BROTHER THAT HELPS ALOT ;)
Hi, thanks for your video. I replaced my linear solenoids (I know you don't recommend that) and need to calibrate them. I'd like to take the valve cover off and drill 3 holes where the solenoids are so I don't have to keep taking the cover off every time I adjust the solenoids, but need to figure out a way of plugging them. Do you know of a plug and grommet kit or anything I could use to plug the holes? Thank you.
Muy bien vídeo Señor Gutiérrez. Una pregunta tengo un Nissan Altima del 2006 creo que con esa misma transmisión, le cambien el motor pero ahora no tengo reversa, todo funciona bien pero no reversa. Alguna sugerencia.
Hi Hiram! Thanks for sharing your videos, I am overhauling this specific trans and have run into an issue hopefully you can help with.. the direct clutch and 1-2 reverse clutches use a "cushion' spring in the pack along with the steels and frictions..my manual is not clear on which way the cushion spring goes in, do you know by chance? Thank you for your time sir!
Thank you very much for this fantastic. Could you explain what is happen in this gearbox if I shift into Neutral? Thank you
Thanks this helps a lot.
Can one connect 12V to the solenoids to test them?
Good day sir,,, thank you for your wonderful vedio.. im hoping if you can help me on the right direction of the low reverse sprag??
Thank you in advance
Very details video great work. Would you by any chance have this same detail but with an RE4F04A jatco?
thanks again Hiram .................I am back again to ask you some thing , last week I have started to work on a transmission AW TF 80 SC of some Peugeot car , I must confess that is the first time I am working on this type of transmission , what you have for that unit ?, any information will be help full and what is the differences between this unit and others of same family such as TF70 or TF81 ............etc. your clips are great , please put some clips regarding this unit (AW TF80-SC) as well. how can I invite you for some beer to drink together ................again I say , you are the perfect one. thanks
***** love this video. Not many people go as in depth as you..
I have an issue with a 01 Volvo v70 xc transmission. Park is loading the engine like its in drive and I think it would move if not for the park pawl because the car moves forward when you start it and you can't Rev past whatever the TC stall speed is. Reverse doesn't work, it's like reverse is fighting drive and reverse at the same time so it just doesn't move at all. Neutral is DRIVE (yup I can go forward in drive) , and drive is drive. It seems to shift through all the forward gears (car is not registered so I can't drive it but in my jobs parking lot).. I'm a professional auto technician but we don't do transmission overhauls.. This seems to me like a solenoid or valve body issue, but I don't know. Where would you suggest I start my diagnosis? I have access to snap on modis scanner, and Mitchell on demand (not a fan of it but it's what my shop uses)
Ohh and i have a dtc for 3rd gear incorrect ratio in the TCM.
***** that's also why it moves forward in neutral? Because the clutch pack isn't releasing like it should? Thanks man your the best.
***** You were spot on with your diagnosis. When i got the trans apart there was a drum in the rear of the trans (dont know its name) with a broken weld seem and burnt up/frozen clutches. i will post pictures and such when i get a chance.
just got a call from my local tranny repair man. He said it will cost me (approx in USD) 2500 $ to fix my AW55. Apperantely there are some worn out clutches and some solenoid failure. With this awesome video i will do it myselg. Keep on with what you are doing ! A+
how did it go?
Hi Hiram Gutierrez, Great Video, Thanks for doing this.
I got a AW55-51SN no Fwd or Reverse whatsoever no codes , Fluid level is ok. Fluid smells burnt it is not black but dark brown .
I checked all the sol they all measure good and respond electrically apart from S4 , S4 measures good but when I trickle it with 12 volts doesn't make any sound.
Any advice would be great help.
Many thanks

Amazing videos. Where is the temperatursensor sitting?
Hello Mister Guttierez, and thank you very much for this helpfuls videos. I'm a mecanic but not familiar at all with AT gearboxes, as we don't do it at all in France, lol!
I have an issue with an AW55-50 on 2001 Volvo V70. it works well except it don't engage the 3rd gear. it don't find it, over rev, and finally engage 4th if I'm enought fast. Oil is new, linear solenoids too, all electronics arounds are ok. Do you think the third gear is dead or is it about the valve body? Thank you very much for your reply!
Great video. I was wondering if a shift solenoid would cause my gear shift icon on the dashboard to show " - " instead of the actual position of the gear selector? Thanks
Great video Mr.Gutierrez, i currently have an issue with one of those, its hard shifting and when i get to a stop iyou can feel like a hit, it doesnt slip at all, do you think changing the valve body would help?
Thank you sir Forklift what tipe transmission come
Are you able to do a transmission over haul video on a transmission for a 2005 Volvo v50 t5 I’m trying to find a part number to post here but I’m uncertain . And or post tools needed for the job ? By the way amazing videos that you post any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
In the language of a modern world:
I'm having trouble putting the pump back in how do I install it with out the drums falling off
Hi, thanks for your videos, they are very instructive.
Maybe you can help me, I repaired an AW55-55SN AF33 transmission of a 2008 Chevrolet Captiva and has the problem that does not enter the fifth gear and "kicks" from first to second, I change the three linear solenides but the problem persists .... Any suggestions or ideas about what the problem might be?
Thank you very much for your attention.
I tried everything I can think of to keep this assembly together while I reinstall it into the transmission please if there's a tip you can give me I really need some help
yet another great video Hiram..
i have an isue with an chevrolet captiva transmission..(aisin 55-51)...after rebuild with bushing kit instaled seal kit instaled ,cleaned the valve body and everything, not the transmission is harsh on shifting from N to D and from N to R....i also have erro code on 5 gear and toque converter stuck open ...my gues is that upon reasamble of the valve body i mistakely set the "steped" pressure regulator sleeve...could be this the case Hiram?
My car turns on, I put it into drive and hit the gas pedal and it just revs, I put it into reverse same thing, went into manual mode and same thing it’s like my gears aren’t engaging... then when I went to put it in park it makes a noise in the middle between neutral and park. Help. It’s a 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R same transmission as this one. If it’s the valve Body I’ll change it if not I’m not fixing it. Any info will help
Great video. Please advice. On AW50-42LE. My back cover middle teflon seal groove is bad and cannot take the teflon seal. Can it work with the two remaining outer seals?
Great videos. 2004 v70 r volvo has occasional hard down shift in warm weather only from 2-1. Rarely happens? I hope it’s a valve body.
w you learn all that ? so many parts good job thanks
So just saw a video from "abu5ed vq" that clearly shows the linkage bar from the valve body to the range switch plate. Is this prone to come loose causing no engagement?
you should upload a video on how to remove the transmission from the 2005 Nissan maxima
great video, going to subscribe.. I had a failure a Chevrolet equinox, AWD AW55 tranny. quick question do you have any videos on how to dissemble the pump assemply.. I have taken out the 4 bolts, clutch packs, spring compress ring, and the larger snap ring in the center. Definite pump failure due to clogging of debris, large metal debris of 1mm in size can be seen near the center input shaft, I just cannot figure out how to remove the pump to show the client...
Good video. Nice
