the issue I’m having with my car is... I bought it back in 2015 at 56k miles and now to date it’s at 111k miles. I’m getting trouble code “p1777” as google says it’s a step motor relation. I think it’s cauaed by the insane cold weather i had in my city, New York, this past Monday and I drove the car and as driving I realized the driving experience and feel had no difference from regular D or Manual mode where I would down shift and upshift myself with the paddle shifters. My car feels it’s stuck on first gear or soemthing. I get no bad jerks or anytging it switches between PRND normally and when in manual mode I can shift form 1-6 and down 6-1 but the revs aren’t matching the downshifting or the upshifting. Just feels it’s only on one gear. I tried to put my cruise control on yesterday but it started flashing/blinking which I’ve never seen before. But today I tried it and it ddint flash/blink although it didn’t “set” either. I checked my tran there is no leak so I haven’t seen an puddles underneath the car after parked. The Tran oil level on the dipstick is just a little bit under the “Hot” mark. If anyone can please help ! Much appreciated ! I posted a thread before but idk what happen to it. Thank you. Also the las time I had my tran oil flushed was back In June 2017 which was when I had put 40-50k miles on the car since purchasing because I hid a bad bump and cracked my transmission oil pan which I had replaced with the OEM on from Nissan dealership.thank you !

i had my last tran flush back in June 29, 2017. I can’t recall if the filter was replaced I don’t think so.

well I had cracked my transmission pan cuz of a bump so had the old oil drained and then new pan installed with new oil from the dealership . No machine pressure at all

You Tube

i have seen this video before but idk if that exact step motor will fit on the 2011 Nissan Maxima. I searched around YouTube and some people commented that the screws are different for the step motor and that won’t fit on it. And I can’t find any videos of how the step motor actually looks on the valve body so that I can maybe order that one knowing It will fit.

what do u mean FSM?

Just too many stickies to go through. I did keyword search but nothing comes up. Appreciate the effort.

thanks for all that. I checked the directories and nothing relating to TM. Which I’m assuming is the transmission manual. But don’t see it.

yeh found it, but doesn’t show an exact picture of the step motor itself just tells the diagnoses and a lot of technical stuff. Thanks for that. But what are the chances of the 2009 having the same layout as a 2011. However I did order a new remanufactured valve body which comes In Monday and then gonna finally replace it. The seller says it’s works 100% , doesn’t need programming and it’s “plug and play”. From valvebodyfactory .com

hmm okay, I’ll call Nissan and see what they say. Thanks for your help much appreciated.
