Thanks again😀
check engine light came on. played around with the car a little more. the car stalls. when shifting to reverse hard shift. when placing car in D hard shift. when you drive it, it starts off in 5th gear. when put into tiptronic mode the shifter reads has gear 5. now when driving i have only 2 gears in tiptronic mode. im assuming 5 and maybe 3 or 4. later on that day i turned the car on and everything went away, the hard crank, the stalling, and the weird shifting. the next day i turn the car on and all of the symptoms came back. i went to autozone and they read the ecm with a cam shaft position sensor in bank 2 as the issue. my only question is would the cam shaft positioning sensor cause the car to shift crazy and only have reverse and 2 gears? and all the things i have mentioned? and is there a way to reset the ecu to see if it really is a sensor or just a hiccup. im all ears for sugestions before i bring it to the dealership and fork out hundreds of dollars. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thank you, you saved me $2,300. My car had been sitting for 8 months until I found your video. Thanks!!!
Hey guys if anyone here does a little of their own work on their Maxima's? Here''s a little tip when changing out the plugs. The front plugs are easy to get to. The rear.... one has to remove the Plenum. Sort of like an air manifold on top of the engine. Not too hard. The kicker here is the two bolts behind the "tunnel" that connects the air intake assembly to the throttle body and the Plenum. They're hard to access but it can be done. I think they may be a #12 socket or #12 ratcheting wrench. Be patient!! They may be hard to crack but they will come off. Once all that stuff is free of the engine? You have a clear space to do your work to either change out your plugs or maybe a bad coil or two. Good luck to you. And "The Good Life" Bless you sir...You remind me of when I was a young back yard mechanic...
Your the man my wife walk in the door looks at me and says we need a new transmission. So I bring it to the shop thay tell me the same thing new transmission hard start hard shift stuck 5th then I saw this video you just saved me $4.726. I just wanted to say thank you!!!!!!!!. $200 both camshaft sensors runs like a champ
Damn homie I just replaced both of mine(it’s 2024) for $60. I hope you not still buying from the same provider😂
Can't thank you enough for posting this video. I was freaking out thinking I needed to buy a new transmission. Saw your video, pulled the B-Bank sensor out in less than 5 minutes, got to Advance Auto 10 minutes before closing, changed the sensor in another 5 minutes and booom! Car started with no issues and ran like new. After 166,000 miles I am barely breaking it in. Thank you
Thank you so much; I was having exactly the same issue with my Maxima. Hard shift on Reverse! I thought I was going to have to replace the trany. I couldn't believe this little sensor could fix it. Love CZcams, loved the video. Bought the sensor at Autozone for $64.00. Beautiful thing!
+Marco Martinez (guanaco1960) I'm in the same situation as you were. Hoping this works for me too
Thank you!!!! My Nissan Maxima was in a Limp mode for 3 months. Mechanics (few of them) told me it is the transmission/electronics and asked from 1600-2500 CAD. Your Video saved me the difference on money, and the car is as good as new again!!!
Please let me know which store you went to purchase. The auto zone item started my car but still in 5th gear
I'm sure glad I stumbled up on your video. I just started experiencing this issues days ago with my Maxima, ironically after changing both sensors on my daughter's Altima. Appreciate you! 👍
This video was so awesomely helpful and saved me from taking my car into an autoshop. I have a 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5SL automatic that suddenly began hardshifting itself to 5th gear. Check engine light flared up. It was the left side cam shaft sensor, the same as the video, that went bad. Unbolting that sensor was difficult, we had to get a swiffle socket on a long extention rachet to unskrew the 10mm bolt. Also, we couldn't pop out the old sensor by pushing on the green piece, we broke the green piece actually while pinching it with a large pair of plyers. This turned out okay when plugged the new sensor into the plug that holds the wires. Phewf! To clear the engine light from the dashboard we removed both the + and - connections on the battery, then tightened them back on to the battery. I started up my car, no engine light illimunated, drove it around 20 minutes and the camshaft sensor worked properly for my transmission to shift like normal again. OMG what a day!!! My brother found this video and we replayed it over and over.. totally saved the day and money. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cam shaft sensor was only $65 at Autozone and comes with a lifetime warranty. The swivle socket on a long extension rachet were a MUST to unskrew the 10mm bolt. Those two tools where about $35 together at Autozone.
JOY LADNER what could it be if my car cuts off while driving but if I unplug the battery and plug it back up it will start
Richard Shannon check battery connections
hi brother tank you you saved me a ton of money my car was doing exactly same thing transmission kicking hard and engine taking too long to start and transmission wouldn't go fast in 1st gear ..so after I replace that sensor now is running like new..tank you so much please keep up your videos ..
You was spot on and very simple with your directions on how to install and what to buy .Thanks so much man!!!
I have a 2004 maxima that i bought new, it only has 67k ml on it now, a few few years after i bought it did the same thing with very little miles back then, long story short, Nissan replaced 4 transmission since then not counting the one that came with the car! All under warranty . Now it just did the same the same as you described in your video! I wandered if these so call mechanics even know of this issue, I will definitely do that and replaced both banks, I had read some blogs about the same subject that prompted me to look up in CZcams, THANKS SO SO MUCH for posting this!! I know is years later but nonetheless!!!
Man, you're video saved me hundreds of dollars and a lot of stress. Thanks so much! For those of you who have the sensor in Bank 1 going out, it's not that hard to change. It's not as easy as the one in bank 2 that he's changing, but for Bank 1 you only need to get the air intake out of the way and the sensor is more accessible.
Dat1Guy good to know. Should I change both at the same time? Or does that 1 last lobger
@@cbar6537 Did you replace both? Did it fix the problem?
Wil Witherspoon I replaced the bank 2 sensor only and it fixed everything
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I thought I had a major trans problem and all was corrected by replacing the Crankshaft position sensor. $31.00 I had all the same symptoms and now all is well. Thanks for sharing!!
Updated!! Success!! Bought a set today installed ghen and all is good now, thanks again!!
Thank you this seemed to also help with the low idle my car had, all seems well driving fine I changed both of them just to be safe thanks again .
I'm having the same problem with my 2005 Max thank you soooooooo much I am going to do it myself you are a life saver
Wow. See that's why I'm not using the ones I have on eBay. I started getting that TCS and slip signal also and same thing on the gear and kick on switching gears. But what made this obvious for me, I got an oil change and it's using synthetic oil and boom! That's when it began to mess up and my old battery too. My problem now it began after 1 month using the ones from eBay, bank 1 is faulty and I'm happy to say I bought the ones from autozone and it costed me 97 bucks for the sensor I needed. Man, you video proves me that it has nothing to do with the transmission. Thanks man
Thank you so much for your video. You just saved me $1500.
Thanks allot your video helped me fix my car when my garage could not.
Worked perfect!!! Crazy how simple of a fix this was!! I bet so many people were jacked by a transmission shop on this one.
+Daniel Stockman i almost got raped with a new transmission for 3700.
The car isn't even worth 3700. Anyone paying more than 1000-1500 for this car (any year) is stupid. It was a lemon the day it was engineered. A nice looking lemon, but still... a lemon.
I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima 3.5. When I turn the key to the RUN position, nothing happens. No click and no start.
Awesome video. Thank you very much.
I bought a Maxima for 1500. 110k miles. Guy told me it would need a new transmission. I changed this sensor and the issues all went away. This video got me a good deal and saved me thousands. Thanks bro
How many sensors did you change?
Love how you described the hard hit I def got that same result
Yo! mad props. I'm about to save me some serious money. Great video, straight to the point.
Im gonna recharge my battery and replace both sensors this weekend. Thanks
Thanks Bro for the help, you showed something at 5:00, and it took days for me finding that info regarding the camshaft bank 1, Now my car works normally. thank you, i liked and subscribed!
Thank you....Your video was fantastic and explained so much about issues I was having!
Also check your alternator. If it's dying a slow death the low voltage will play havoc with lots of sensors.
Thank you!! Been dealing with this very issue; nice to know I can fix it myself too!! Thanks so much!!
You the man bro!!! My Maxima just starting having this issue today. Watched your video and now my car is running like new again. Thanks for sharing I'm sure mechanics hate this video lol
Please let me know which store you went to purchase. The auto zone item started my car but still in 5th gear
I replaced my camshaft position sensor because it took a bit longer to start & when I plugged it in the car wouldn't start at all.
So I thought it had to be the crankshaft position sensor. So I bought a fault code scan tool that bluethooths to my phone. Sure enough, it was the crankshaft. I replaced it & sometimes it takes a bit to start & sometimes it starts right up.
I'm still getting the cam sensor code. I got it on Amazon & when you said don't get it online I thought that's got to be it then.
I got both cam & crank sensors online.
Thanks for the video.

Had the same issue on my 2005 Maxima SE and changing the left camshaft sensor saved me a ton of money. Glad I came across this video. I have 312K miles on it and I DID NOT want to purchase another transmission. I initially bought a sensor on ebay to save some money and it didn't work. I spent an extra $20 for a Duralast and it fixed the problem...
Auto or Manual ?
+yaamanzzdee auto
+William Campos (Willie) do you know if they have the same problems in stick ?
I wouldn't know. It's a quick and inexpensive fix so you may want to try it.
This is so helpful 😢 I was finna cryyyyy bruh my car just stayed in 5th
Thank you brother, I was looking for a video where they explain it well
I LOVE YOU!! Thank you..Thank you!! You saved us so much money!! My engine jumped when put in park. There were no lights on on the dash. One mechanic told us we needed a motor mount $ $600!! Another Mechanic told us we needed to service our transmission with the dealer! After watching this video, I drove to AutoZone and picked up the Duralast brand Camshaft, my husband popped it in and and IT WORKED!! YOU-ARE-THE-BEST!!
May God bless you and your family for posted this video!!
Can you tell me which store and the part number? I went to Auto zone and it started my car but the shifting gear to 5th is still occurring
thank you for your video my car is doing the same thing saving peeps a boat load of money thanks again
Hey everybody. I've had this problem to. So if you have this problem please change both sensors that's shown on this video even tho he only changed one. The sensors ain't that much. I bought both of mine at autozone for around $90-$100 for both. I wish I saw this video before I took my car to nissan to get it diagnosed which was $100. I'm just happy my car is back to normal. So get both sensors and change both at the same time. And to reset your ses light. Just disconnect your positive battery for 30 min. That's what I was told by nissan. Good luck everybody.
Junior Villarreal thank you very much I’ll be sure to change both. Also there’s a trick you can do to get codes and clear codes with zero tools whatever I know this post is old but anyways
Why are so many mechanics thieves?? It seems as if they constantly hit people who are in a tough spot in life. They also put a bad name out there for the decent mechanics who are the true helpers. Keep up the good work "The Good Life!! I subscribed to you my friend!
Thank you. I will try this. My 2005 Maxima at 88,000 miles is just starting to have this transmission problem. I've pampered it since day one. However I'm at it's early stages of problems and reading online there's a major problem with these 04-06 Maxima's. I read it's the speed sensor, turbine sensor, and/or camshaft sensor. All seem to be related with the transmission in moving the gears up and down properly. I'll follow up for results when I change these. I don't want to rebuild the entire transmission just yet ($1200-$3500) as it's still in VERY good condition.
Did you change the camshaft sensor(s)? Did it work?
Thanks bro that really helps when you explain it
05 maxima fixed for pennies, thanks 4 a great video bro

Hey quick question for u. Do u think that part in my murano cause it to not start when it gets hot? First start is great and driving it non stop is great but in town stop and go traffic and shutting off and starting doing errands not good. When I park it after driving it like 20 miles shut it off it won't start until engine cools down then it well start again.
U saved me $1700 bro!!!#Thanks!!!💯💯💯💪💪💪
Thank you! I’m at 265,000+ miles and just did engine swap 6 months ago, have to change bank 1 with same symptoms. Starting in 5th gear. My code reader says bank 1 circuit
I so love u man u saved my life....
Fantastic, fairly easy to do. Thanks so much! 8-)
how do u reset the low tire pressure warning light? id appreciate it a lot
Very very very nice sir thank you very much sir
What's up junjun..just saw your video..much appreciated..quick question..you still have the maxima?? Did that fix Last a long time
Camshaft position sensor bank 1 or bank 2?? My car doesn't start at all and it says I need to replace Bank 1 which is more towards the back and it's harder to get to. I was just driving and my car randomly lost power and came to a dead stop for no reason
Thank you!!!
Thanks i will fix my 2004 Nissan Murano same engine 3.5
i have question how do you take it apart to put the piece on & when im done what is ot i suppose to reset
Hey, need help have a 05 Nissan maxima. Have a hard time starting after i run out of gas. Changed my gas pump, still won't start turns over but that's it. Just hear a clicking sound when i try to turn the car on.
I juste change it today'. Thanks a lot bro ' the transmission runs like a baby eaven ' thank you.
hey bro how did car drive before u changed sensor? did it drive poor when it was warned up? thanks
did it give u driving problems before changing it? i think i have same issue except when engine warms up feels like im in first gear thanxs
Wow..I have had transmission problems since the first week. Not shifting ,,then shifting to fast. .. I was going nutz. Not wanting to start, then .. retarding the timing all the way to the bottom. Thanks big time for the help. Everyone else was saying bad CVT .
How do you get that engine light to go off? Also thx, I did it myself without a mechanic.
same problem with my pathfinder 2010 dealership try to charge me 1600 to fix the engine and transmission and I search on CZcams and I found a couple videos and it was the sensor I get a new sensor on a junk yard cars for just 10$ this video is so hopeful! 👍🏻
my slip and vdc indicators are solid but resets when i turn my car off. what should i do
Good video brother ty
I like and will subscribe to your channel
the part you showed underneath the car for the camshaft, the last part. is the black part is one that need to be replaced? you didn't point to a part to know with one.
Thanks alot bro!
Hey i had a lil fender bender not so long ago and my car just started knocking hard when going reverse and a lil hard going to drive. after it warms up it doesnt knock as hard. when i try to park and hit reverse and hit it back to drive than reverse it knocks really hard. people is saying its the motor mount and i just found out this from this video that it might be the camshaft too. cause when i head to work and just turn on my car let it warm like for 30 sec than take off, sometimes it feels as if i accelerate and it quit giving power like it jerks as if i shift wrong. any idea what could it be? i got a 04 maxima se
Good video am having the same problem do u have a part # from autozone possibly
i have same problem with cold start but is stick shift. does this apply for stick shift
was it a 10mm wrench to unbolt the sensor or does it pop off?
so after you rode in did it start back acting up and how long did it take
