    Is your Nissan Pathfinder Xterra transmission shifting hard? Or not shifting ?This video will surely help you! At the worst case it doesn’t hurt to try it may save you thousands. Sorry for the long video but while I was making it I was not sure that it was going to work but it sure did!(yay me!) I can’t guarantee it will work for you and some of the information seems a little bit sketchy. it jumps around a little bit and sometimes I think I’m going to do something that I don’t end up doing. but if you watch the whole video and try the process more than likely will work. So let me know if it works for you this will probably work about
    60 to 80% of the time. So what do you have to lose learn something and understand how it works!! You should watch the whole video .So you can inform yourself with all the great information that I put in my videos and God bless. I hope the videos helpful for you!
    And Thank you for viewing!

    I had an 05 Xterra with a problem with a broken pin on the TCM. Had a Front Brake Solenoid code 1757. The vehicle was stuck in limp mode (3rd gear I think). Limp mode is designed to protect the transmission from further damage that could be caused. Re-soldered the pin and was back in business. A word of advice, when you're re-soldering the pin, reinforce the break with a piece of wire... don't just rely on the solder material to hold. My first attempt failed after a couple of months. The reinforced fix seems to be holding up after a year.

    At 21:30 into the video that solenoid is called the Low Coast Brake Solenoid. There are 2 different versions of this solenoid which depend on your year model. 2000 to 2004 it will be the low ohm version. 2005 and up it will be the high ohm version. You HAVE to put the correct one in your valve body.

  • @jcrc9051

    Yeah that transmission conductor plate looks very similar to my mercedes one. I ditched it and bought a new one on e bay BAPA brand. around 80.00$inc gasket, filter
    Also, same as you did the valv atf. Ive kept it in though, its been a year, no more limp mode.

The transmission runs perfectly in P, R, 1st and skips 2nd and 3rd and only after 40km/h steps into 4th.

      Well I would highly highly highly recommend changing all of them the only solenoid that looks different is the one on the very end closest to the front of the transmission. And I was pretty certain my video I put up good explanation of what the different styles were. the solenoids are either Low ohm Or high ohm. But I found after I made the video that you do have to use specific maker solenoid on the very end one and there are three different styles 2 Mitsubishi and one different style bosch. Let us know if your repair is successful I’m glad to hear the video was helpful

I left my truck and came the next day. And put it in drive catches in drive and reverse. Put it back in neutral and reverse and it not engaging. Went back with a obd and found p1731 e break. Mechanics advised its burnt out clutch plates. Checked the oil but not smell or brownish color. Need your second opinion on this. Thanks.

    What did you use to clean the valve body? I see someone posted to use brake cleaner. Did you use a soft brush when cleaning the contacts? Did it help clean up the old silicone? Why didn't you show any of the valve body cleaning?! That would have helped so much. Any particular order to installing the new solenoids? Are the new solenoids interchangeable (or are they labelled out of the package)? Again, why did you not show installing the solenoids? I'm okay with the video length as I want/need to see everything (I'm tired of working on things in the yard only to find out that the video left very important things out). After all those questions - it is a really good video and will help immensely.

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  Před 4 lety +3

      Well I certainly tried to cover as much as I could. I like to think even though that video is not that old I probably would’ve made it different now than what I made it then.
      This was the first time I tried to ever did anything like this. It did end up working excellent. But because of that reason I was unsure that it was going to even work or that anyone would ever see it.
      The solenoids are not interchangeable if I remember correctly there are three different types of solenoids in there. Depending on which style of ohm solenoid you have
      With the variance of what’s called a high ohm solenoid. Or a low ohms solenoid. You will need to call the dealership with your Vin number to determine which style of solenoid you have unless you can test them on the bench like I did (this required me to watch CZcams videos on how to OHM them out
      Meaning that the valve bodies are different some valve bodies are low ohms some valve bodies carry the high ohm set of solenoids
      First you need to determine if yours is the high ohms set or yours is the low ohms set.
      Now in the video I think I did describe the different styles of solenoids.
      And once you start disassembling this most of your questions will be answered easily by yourself. I understand where you’re coming from but generally a job like this takes quite a bit of mechanical aptitude and most people think they need to see everything before they take it apart but they will not understand what I’m talking about until they start doing the job.
      I did use brake cleaner to clean it up it’s very common. I did remove all the silicone. And I also replaced it with a comparable product just any simple red silicone is fine.
      The solenoids are not marked. Because like I said this does require a higher level of just looking at stuff and using common sense. I do believe anybody could do this if they try.
      As far as the reasons that I didn’t show a lot of the other things because they did not work out the way that I wanted them to and I would be doing more harm than good.
      The only thing that may be a problem for you or anyone else that I did not describe in the video is going to be getting the solenoids out of the valve body generally they break off and they Will require a little bit of tenacity. Meaning that you’re going to have to sit there with the pic in a little screwdriver and take out the plastic parts that break off on the end. Down inside the holes.
      I hope all of that information is helpful for you and I want to add one little bit
      What do you have right now? I’m assuming something that’s broken.
      What’s the worst case scenario if you try to do this job? Something that still broken. I can’t guarantee this is going to fix your problem but I can tell you that it definitely fixed mine. And even doing the work myself between fluids and parts I probably still had at least $300 into doing this. And in the end it could’ve been all pissed out the window. But because I stepped up to the table and played the game I actually won. In my videos I generally do things like this cheaper and save money for myself because I think about what I have before I start.
      With all of that said I don’t know that my mechanical expertise or knowledge helps me all that much because generally it just boils down to common sense and that’s how I’m able to do the repairs that I do even when I’ve never done them before or have no previous knowledge of doing them.
      I look at stuff I think about the way it works and I take it apart and try to figure out how it worked before I put it back in there I think that that’s why I’m successful most of the time more so than my past knowledge of working on cars because most of the stuff I make CZcams videos on I’ve never done before.
      I hope the message is it too long and you can understand it God bless I wish you the best of luck with your job.

    I have a 2007 Xterra 4WD. It’s throwing solenoid codes and oddly enough a starter code (P0850, P0615 and P1772). About 3 months ago, I was thrown into limp mode and was told SMOD but it only acted that way once. The ignition thing has me stumped as I have never had a problem starting it. The car is running fine now except I have no cruise control. The cruise light will pop on but it will never engage. The SES light is on and I had someone put a code reader on it and got those. Any idea what’s going on?

      Felipe Ruiz. Good morning I don’t know why you would have to do that if it has the same ohm solenoids in it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ so I don’t know why you would because there’s no computer chips inside the valve body it’s just pathways for circuits to run and send power. Too solenoids.... just keep in mind I’m no expert. I could see where the memory would have to be flashed on the TCM controller because it would be set a certain way but I would also think that after about five or six times of driving it it would reset itself to the new driving conditions that the solenoids and Valve body control module would affect

And I’m fairly certain all you do is take the multi meter and send it to ohms there’s only three settings it’s either the first or second setting. And that will tell you what ohm Solenoid you have by testing the other solenoids. Hopefully that helps out and I’m certain you will get it though you don’t sound like you just landed on your head when you were born LOL I wish you the best of luck if I can help I certainly will try

      I don’t know the answer to that question if it plugs in the same way and if it uses the same ohm. Solenoids I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t work but honestly I’m no expert.

    I followed the steps in your video because I was getting a slip when shifting from 4th to 5th. That issue is addressed, but I am not experiencing some sort of slip/kick when doing rapid acceleration from a stop. I don’t think it’s the clutch because I didn’t have this issue before. I put it on a scanner and I got the code P1731 automatic transmission first braking. Any ideas on what I should do now? Thank you.

    Watched just to see how the other side of the valve body looks like. Here’s the problem I ran into; I was doing a routine service, and I’ve never serviced a Nissan transmission before so I bought the ATF and what I thought was a filter, but happened to be it’s just a screen. I said might as well change it so I started to remove the bolts holding the screen noticing some are longer than others like a typical valve body. Then I noticed the 3 that are held by nuts instead of bolts. I removed them just to notice what I thought was a solid stud, now feels like a regular bolt. Of course the head of that bolt is inside the valve body. You ever ran into this? Is there a way to get those right without having to remove the valve body?

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  Před 5 lety

      Good evening sorry to hear that but I think I have a simple solution it may not seem simple for you but it truly is I promise if anyone else can do it you can do it to! I am not a super Nissan technician nor do I know a lot about these. But from my experience you’re better off just removing the valve body like I showed you in the video and then you’ll be able to remove the stud and replace it it really was not that difficult to remove the valve body. I hope that information is helpful for you Juan and I wish you the best of luck.

    • @twowheels808
      @twowheels808 Před 5 lety

      The Clay Way thank you for the prompt reply. I managed to get those right without removing the valve body. I hand tighten the nuts until they were flush with the screen, then very carefully I pinched the end of the bolt with a pair of needle nose pliers and a rag in between the bolt and pliers to keep it from damaging the threads, as I tightened the nut with an open end wrench. I then hoped it was tight enough to bite I then set my torque wrench to 70in.lbs and hoped for the best, and sure enough they torqued to spec!
      I didn’t want to unbolt the valve body because I don’t want to deal with broken solenoids and all the that’s related with removing that stuff on a truck that was promised to be done in a few hours.

    Any fix for no reverse or will it need a new transmission?

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  Před 5 lety +1

      Well doing this procedure in the video will be much cheaper than trying to find a good used transmission or having your transmission rebuilt. This procedure is going to cost you about $100 with fluid maybe 200. So getting a used transmission is probably gonna cost 1500 to 2500 and about the same for a rebuilt one . If you’re a gambler like me it’s probably not a bad idea to try this out and at the very least you know you have a good transmission control module.
      I would also add if you only are missing reverse. More than likely it’s your control module because if I remember correctly and (I’m not a transmission technician) first gear and reverse gear are the same gear.
      Maybe you should give it a go and let us know how it went

Drove it and Weeks later , now I'm having no crank start, so I did a bypass on the starter and it crank. These are the things I did....
    1. Ignition switch work with my light test.
    2. Bench test starter, it work.
    3. All fuses are good. But dont know about relays fuses. I've moved them around and no go.
    4. My first code was for a natural switch that I can't find. Which I think the xterra dont have.
    5. When bypass the starter, drove to Advance Auto for the second code and gave me a code of U1000.
    So I'm stuck!
    All this started with the transmission and radiator fluids being bad. Any help on how to crank my vehicle? Does the value body has something to with no crank?

    • @sharpcarco
      @sharpcarco  Před 5 lety

      U1000 is the code that most automobile manufacturers send out when the automobile is being scanned . If I remember correctly it has nothing to do with anything .
      Because you said the word Nissan I highly recommend that you check the connection on the battery post positive side there is a fuse that blows . It’s not a part of the normal fuses you need to check that fuse for continuity it is connected right near the main positive battery post.
      I’m glad that you had great success with flushing your radiator etc. etc.
      But that probably doesn’t have anything to do with what’s going on now .
      If that fuse is not blown take both battery cables off of the battery take a zip tie and tie them together for 30 minutes .
      Replace the battery cables this will reflash the ECM’s inside the car and then we can see if it will start . That’s all I can come up with off the top my head for right now but let us know how it goes I wish you the best of luck thank you very much .

      Yes it is ... if I remember right . There are 2 Different types of solenoids that go on each board some of them are low ohm’s and some of them are high ohm’s . One style board uses the low ohm’s board and the other style is the high OHMS Mine in the video was the high style.
      In each board there are three different types of solenoids I don’t remember them all distinctly but I do point them out in the video. They have to be in order and in the correct position.

If you don't clear the code and get the sensor(s) replaced, the ECU will have a hard time judging when to shift. Oddly, even with the code still in it, it will exhibit these symptom. I replaced the sensor months ago and thought I had cleared the code, but there was apparently a double instance of it in the car. The codes were C1130 and P0345 for reference.

      Well I’m really sorry Thomas I wish I could be of some help I did that video A while ago and I don’t think I had the same complications and I haven’t had anybody say the same thing as you the only thing I could think of is possibly you took out the wrong bolt in there still one in there.
      I’m sorry I wish I had a better memory but that was the first and the last time I done that procedure I do wish you the best and wish I could be of more help

      So I’m guessing you just say the heck with it don’t try to do anything just get a new one? , I understand your logic if there wasn’t something wrong already but once there’s something wrong with that you have to try to do something, can’t can’t just leave the water in their
      I’m guessing you didn’t watch the video so you have no clue what you’re talking about

      OK so first off I was correct you did not watch the video because you would know the answer to every single one of them questions.
      End it having coolant inside your transmission fluid has nothing to do with maintenance.......

      Well that’s a shame but doesn’t really bother me I days and long hours making this video and you’re upset about it there being in at three minutes after it started I don’t think there’s anyone who made a video as comprehensive as mine so good luck to you it was a Lot of good information that you missed I hate to lose the subscribers . I literally make 2/10 of a cent from every single view so I don’t think your money will be missed . You know it cracks me up when people say stuff like this it doesn’t make any sense they take no consideration whatsoever the time and effort that is put in so you can watch a free video and show you how to do something at home you would not know how to do . And hopefully save you a couple thousand dollars it really is the death of humanity when people say things like this and don’t appreciate what things are what they are . That is why no one has any court fundamentals in life anymore
