Where sis you purchase the valve body kit? Mixed reviews with the ones I'm finding. Also, can a transmission shop reprogram or does it need to be the dealer? Can I drive it up to shop before reprogramming?
Nissan parts deal dot com for the part www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts/nissan-valve-asmy-co~31705-28x0b.html If a repair shop has the equipment to program the transmission control unit then yes the should be able to do it. And yes, you can drive the car to the shop before it it is programmed as long as it's not like 50 to 100 miles.
About the issues: The transmission was shifting into overdrive at 15mph and juddering (like starting in 3rd gear with a stick shift). There were no codes and very little evidence of metal in the pan when I opened it up, so no serious damage IMO. I live in Florida and driving in the summer was overwhelming the little factory trans cooler, overheating and burning the fluid. Nissan NS-3 fluid is viscosity sensitive and burning the fluid will affect performance and can even damage the transmission. I was told that a common fix was replacement of the valve body and complete fluid flush. I also added an axillary transmission cooler to prevent a repeat.
Good afternoon, can you tell me the part number in the valve body and if it fix to altima 2017 3.5? Thank you and I really apreciate your effort in teaching us.
Hi vern i have a 2017 murano with 150,000 miles i had the fluid chaged about a month ago and now the car shakes at around 15 miles but when i push the pedal it goes away i have no lights pop up and it does this intermittent the dealer told me the transmission is shot and its 6k for a new one i am also in florida and i just wanted to thank you for this video because i also suspected the valve body but now i can try it, i will keep you posted on the result and if there is any advice that you can give me please do, thanks
@@juanfiol1975 Check your transmission pan for debris. If you only have a little sludge (no metal bits) the valve body swap may be the ticket. If that solves it, definitely consider adding a transmission cooler for the Florida heat. Good luck!
I have a 2014 Pathfinder. I want to replace valve body. I would like to know what your valve body cost and what Nissan Dealership charged for programming. Thanks a bunch!!!!
@@getdirtywithvern Thanks Vern, I'm trying to replace the easy things first. Speed sensors, input and output, then the TCM. I have a Thinktools ProS+ which should enable me to program TCM and hopefully a valve body if it comes to that. That was a very nice video that you made. I learned a lot from it.
I'm not an expert but the valve body of a 2012 transmission looks very similar however it won't bolt up to a 2015 transmission and the computer controlled valves would not be recognized by the transmission control module (computer). I think the 2015 through 2020 models are the same but are not compatible with 2013 or earlier Muranos.
Yes, it solved the shuddering problem and it shifts like it did when we bought it.
Make sure to check transfer case oil, if you have not been replaced, it is going to be very black, it takes 1/2 quart
Appreciate the video, considering breaking apart my Altima early as I’ve the same issue. Curious how it’s holding up almost 6 months later?
No issues. Still functioning like new!

what was the cost for the dealership to program
Did the valve body replacement come with a CD or anything that you gave to Lokey to assist them?
Yes, but they didn't need mine. They used their own.
Do you know if you were getting any of the Judder codes before you did this?
No codes at all but a very bad judder
What issues were you having? Where did you get the valve body and how much did it cost? Thanks
The valve body ran me about $650.00, I got it from nissanpartsdeal.com Not cheap but less $$ than a new transmission for sure.

The valve body was about $650 from www.nissanpartsdeal.com/ and it ran about $150. to reprogram it at the local dealership.

did the replacement solve the problem?
Yes, it once again drives live it did when I bought it.
I have 2016 Nissan rouge do you have info/website to purchase a valve body
Check with nissanpartsdeal.com and search for valve body under your vehicle year and model
How’d you get vehicle to Dealership for valve body reprogram???
I drove it. You can drive the car for short distances before reprograming the TCM
Did you have to program it
Yes, I took it to the local dealership and had the TCM reprogramed.
How much they charge you for reprogramming it?
About $160.00 if memory serves.
Thanks for the reply 👍
Is the 2012 the same as the 2015 Nissan Murano?
2012 is different. The transmissions are nearly identical but parts are not interchangeable.
@@getdirtywithvern can you explain not interchangeable! I appreciate the reply!
