You are awesome. Very attentive to detail paid off. Good work my friend.

[SheenaNeil]

Wow, thank you so much.
I’m taking mine apart tomorrow and this gave me a clear idea of what to expect, and what problems to look for.

I had this same problem. I had to change the whole unit. It cost me a lot more around $1600.00 I knew the issue, but did not comfortable taking it out and soldering. Hope your video will help others.

Thank you for the abbreviated video. You targeted the key elements and gave good instruction on how to carefully clean and look for damage. Now, the fun part I get to apply your teachings.

[williamdenham]

Lots of good instructional advice that revolves around good troubleshooting skills using simple observation with eyes, ears, nose, feel, and patience!

[angeljose]

This video was a complete lesson, thank you

[bouie-mtb-brew]

Excellent video. This was exactly what I was looking for, I have a code1774 for low coast solenoid. I've got the replacement solenoids on hand and really wanted to know where to check for breaks in the circuits since that is also a possibility. Very clear and concise. Thanks

[EndritVj]

Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share it!

[MrBNARick]

Great Video!!! Can't believe there is so much plastic in a transmission.

[TheFastrider]

Great info man! My 2010 Xterra Offroad just took a crap, went into limp mode and code reads P1764.

Thank you for posting this, it helps a lot! Quick question, would you happen to know the ball bearing positions on inside of the milled part? I took apart a salvaged TCM I found at a junkyard and 2 bearings fell out. I only bought to module b/c it was $26 and I wanted to get familiar with it. All the components look ok. I will be replacing the solenoids, on the TCM on my truck, later this week. Hoping I don't need the salvaged unit, but would like a functional spare in case.

Great job am going to fix my truck myself now!

This is an excellent video and you did an excellent job explaining and showing this so clearly. It’s THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN in relation to checking and fixing the problems after contamination!! Unfortunately my 08 Pathfinder had the radiator leak failure and trans got contaminated too. I caught it early like you did. I changed to a brand new radiator, changed my hoses, and took forever to clean out the caramel pudding from my overflow tank. But I did it😃. I completely flushed my transmission and put new transmission fluid in it. New filter too. Everything was going well until
I noticed transmission is slipping when I put it in drive—it hesitates a split second when pressing the accelerator as it engages in first gear. And sometimes when I’m driving I feel it slip if I press the accelerator to go up 1 gear. Seems it don’t have the acceleration in relation to the RPM speed it used to have before contamination. With watching the great job on your customers TCM and what you did with your TCM, do you think it’s my TCM contamination and/or solenoids? Or do you think it’s the torque converter? I’m pretty handy and I’m sure I can remove my TCM to check and clean it like you did.
I would really appreciate any advice. I don’t want to pay big to have a shop fix it, if I can do it myself. Thank you kindly in advance from Hawaii.

Gr8 vid, I have a re4f04b.
2001 maxima
P0744 comes on typically at higher speeds, think it’s losing pressure on the TCC solenoid. Highly suspect it needs new wire harnesses and solenoids block and filter.
I was able to getting it to move with 3 drain and fills with few thousand miles between each. It’s now almost normal except it still gets the code.
I was able to get it to pass state test barely on retest.

I used valvoline maxlife synthetic ATF
Lucus
Seafoam transtune to help clean out things

[thelightworshipper]

Is the transmission still working?
How did you clean the coolant lines in the engine? I know you replaced the radiator but what about the rest of the cooling system (hoses, engine).

[YouDontTalkAboutFightClub]

Great video. Thank you for making it. It really helped me.

[ChrisGarcia-fm]

I'm having the same code on my 05 nissan pathfinder after changing the fluid. The solenoids were fine after checking for clicking noise, but the same pressure switch wasn't checked the way you showed in the video. I'm gonna have to take it apart to confirm it's also broken by doing the same like you did in the video Would I still be able to use the same fluid again that I drained after buying a new valve body, or repairing the tcm board?

[jamesward]

Have a customers auto Navara landing in tomorrow - nobody wants to know about fixes for these. Garages just hard-pass. Even just for simple chassis issues - let alone transmissions. Your English is amazing - Smart Guy. I can take a good guess at where you're from.

[jewllake]

I really enjoy the longer videos! Sounds like you got pretty good rain up North - it came down pretty good in the San Francisco Bay Area.

What is there resistance supposed to be

How to check solenoids with a battery to make clicking sound

What order do the solenoids fit into the board?
