Thanks Costee....that was helpful. Also found the manual for the tranny and the car and there is no torque sequence.

NOW.....where the hell is the transmission drain plug??? I cannot find it anywhere. It is not where pictured in the manual.

Ronstang

Is that the drain plug....because I saw somewhere what people mistake for a drain plug is actually the band anchor bolt

Costee

That's it.

Thanks again for your quick replies in this thread....made the job much easier. Finished the work yesterday and did the CPU relearn this morning and my wife is ecstatic she has her car back.....which makes me happy because I get to sleep in tomorrow....LOL. She says it hasn't run this smooth in a long time.

Costee

Nice to hear your car is running again satisfactorily.

Hello, read the whole thread. I have 04 se with 78,000 miles and a P0780 code. I'm a female so I don't know the correct verbiage for my issue but it hesitates when accelerating so I have to accelerate slowly to about 40 mph, then coast or it feels like I'm losing power. I'm wondering if a trans flush or a valve body will fix the issue. If valve body is it ok to go with rebuilt/remanufactured or new.

Costee

Speaking from personal experience I'd suggest a new oem valve body.

scrui

that's not a valve body issue. Do an YouTube search on that code.

Costee

It squarely is.That was the code on my 2006 Max in 2011. It signifies that the pressure solenoids have gone dysfunctional.

Thanks for your responses. The few videos YT have for this code said it was the fluid/solenoids/valve body. Nissan wants 1400.00 for the valve body which is insane. I checked sunbelt they want 600.00 for remanufactured/rebuilt. Where can I get an new OEM other than nissan. Also Is this an easy thing to do I found a mobile mechanic on CL bc the auto repair shops wants to replace the trans.
