Hey Eric, I could use your help man. So I'm driving my 2005 g35 and first it hesitated going into 2 or 3 gear. Figured I was probably super low on trans fluid. I stop at store, put a quart in and then when. I started driving again. It went from 1st to 2nd gear and then going into 3rd it felt like It wouldn't catch. Then all of the sudden nothing.. No more going forward. Its rev'ing but no actual moving forward. Then I turn off the car. Turn it back on and it will start accelerating again. But again, 1st to 2nd It changes and going into 3rd just stops moving forward and only revs. I tried it a few times and same thing each time. I can get moving until it's about to hit 3rd gear and then just stops moving forward. Do you think I'm having same issue with valve body or could it be torque converter? I have no clue. If you could give me any help man, I'd really appreciate it

@@deadmoon7959 wow my car started doing that almost a year ago and I was at the mercy of these mechanics who claimed to change my trans but I believe they changed a part cause the trans looks the same as before but they told me like tens times car was ready when they did not even start on it. So the fix as far as they told me was to put another trans In

@@aloiba100 Yeah, Ive been tripping out, cause I can't afford to put a new trans in right now. So I was praying for any possibility that even if it was a tranny issue, it would hopefully be something that wasn't SO major critical, that if I attempted to do the repair myself here at the pad.. I wouldn't be able to get it done and fixed, on my own, with just my basic tools here in my garage.

Glad you enjoyed the video thank you!

@@travisussery258 what code did you get I got code p1757 front brake solinoid only my Manuel mode is shifting horrible like if the trans is out . But I got a used Vavle body on OfferUp for 120 and hopefully it takes the code away. Did you ever get yours fixed?

@@panchogomez4238did it work bro ?

@@jrserrano9396 yes I did replace my Vavle body and the front brake solinoid code came off. But the horrible shifting was another code that I had because it was the shifter, a circuit was out and it was causing the computer to not shift smooth so I just replaced my shifter, Vavle body and obviously drain and fill with 7 bottles of atf. Car was running better then ever after that and shifting smoother then ever.

Glad to help

how did you do this? my 06 g35 sedan is throwing a front brake solenoid code

Interesting, did you ever have any issues with needing to program the valve body? The reason I ask is because there's like 3 different types of valve bodies one of them has the TCM inside the cabin on early style 2003 G35. Somwhere in 2005 they changed again and later changed again in 2006

hey man did you ever see the issue where it boots tou out of manual mode? So you push it into ds, works for like 30s then boots you back into regular D drive, and you can't go back to manual mode until you restart the car. heard of that??

Wondering if u need to reprogram

As the other guy asked which trans need reprogrammed. Used units don't I've heard and new units do. Which is it ? No one online seems to truly know.

@@mescobar8801did you ever find out ?

Did you go with a used unit?

It shouldn't turn off or feel like it's turning off, in my experience when you have a bad transmission you will just experience a lot of shutter and harsh engagements aside from that the vehicle should idle the same or very close to 1k prm sometimes idle can go up and down since the computer in the transmission also Is used to for idling

Ever got 1716 fixed?

@@MrYogitron92 No! I believe it needs a rebuilt trans. The TCM is located inside the valve body in my car, as is in this video.

I have an '04/05 G35x. Apparently they are (early versions) prone to valve body/tcu issues. One reason is due to a failure in the tranny cooling line, where it passes through the lower radiator. Causes coolant and ATF to mix in transmission and engine. Mine had this very issue while doing 120 (km) down highway. Most forums say that if caught right away and no damage done to transmission itself, it can be repaired by replacing valve body/TCU. Although it's not a guarantee. My issue is solely with 5th gear/overdrive, where tranny doesn't want to shift into 5th. As such I'm at 3000rpm while doing 100km (60mph). Hoping the valve body/TCU swap will solve issues. Note I too get a weird vibration when using manual mode, putting tranny into 5th gear. At around 80-85km/hr

Its about 3 but it will only take about 8 to fill the transmission and torque converter

@CFauvel any update bro?

@@elcompask4te835 yes... They replaced the valve body under warranty and found a bad ground strap. Then after a few weeks I found that weird things would happen after going through the carwash. Throw all kinds of codes, dash lights would light up, headlights would come on by themselves. Turns out the drain where the IPDM lives (behind the battery ) was clogged and was filling up with water, thus the IPDM was under water. Took a long time for the mech to find it as I steered him in the wrong direction by mentioning the carwash under spray and the recent transmission work. 6 hours of diagnostic time ugh I don't think the IPDM being under water had anything to do with the symptom, but maybe....

Did you ever find out how much?

Check your transmission fluid level you might be low on it. If not the transmissions normally go for 750 used and labor is around 1k

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Awesome .Thank you . I'm in S. Fl area .Car was used locally by middle aged female mostly so it wasnt modded or raced and beat like a lot of them . I will definitely find my own parts as I already got a $3K price just to rebuild this one ! My area is unfortunately full of scammers. Thanks again.

I would not rebuild them. It's better to get a working used unit

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Could you help me locate trans fluid access? It is enough of a nightmare to re-insert oil dipstick on this car ! Nuts! TY!

I would probably first check what codes you are having if it's anything relating to the transmission I will take it back to the dealership. When the valve body is goes out on these vehicles they usually cause some sort of damage to the transmission that's why it's better to just replace both parts

It is a transmission speed sensor at time 7:00

It will probably be cheaper to just get a different transmission with the different torque converter

Mines basically the same but it doesn’t shift up.

@@AuzsG35 yea honestly dude I think it might be the shift solenoid going bad perhaps. Can’t confirm with u on that 100% But I do know that most issues with the G35 cars will be the front brake solenoid circuit cracking and it’s why this happens. Could also be low on fluid which also causes jerking and gears to not work properly(slippage), so make sure to have the correct amount of fluid on the tranny. Bands wearing out, maybe the tcm dying, could be a fvck tons of reasons. I am the 3rd owner of my G coupe. So the previous two owners never had done a transmission fluid change for over 100,000 miles. Car currently has 112,000 now. When I changed the fluid for the 1st time, it was oxidized. More like a amber type color, which needed to be replaced ASAP. I just did another drain and fill for the 2nd time to get rid of the old yucky fluid. So 1st I used matic J, which I don’t recommend cause shit is too expensive for a qt. You’ll be paying 20$ on those. You’re better off using matic S as this has superseded matic J and it’s better. After the 2nd drain and fill, it honestly feels much better and smoother with the gears shifting than before. Downshifting has also improved in my case by a little as well. But most of the time when u start to experience some new issues with new fluid on the tranny, its because u prolly already have transmission issues in the first place but wasn’t aware because the old fluid was doing a good job covering the issue as it has more friction. Once the new fluid comes in it starts to clean shit out which can cause slippage and other issues. Clean fluid will 100% show u the existing problems that u wasn’t aware of. Usually it’s very risky to do a tranny fluid change on high mileage cars that has not really got it serviced before. But I decided to do it anyways and see what happens. Regardless having old, dirty, oxidized fluid will fvck up the tranny anyways cause it won’t disperse heat too well. Number 1 reason on why tranny dies. But if u want too u can do the same as me. Just do another d/f and see if it makes a difference. I’m planning to do another d/f for a 3rd time. But not now. I would never suggest getting a flush if u have never serviced ur tranny tho. Shit can deff mess up or completely kill it. Just do d/f multiple times and I think it should be fine and get better.

@@Carmizo_ yea I bought new motor and trans. Trans went out after 200 miles. it was leaking fluid so I filled it up and it didn’t like that. Fluid level was fine but I guess it doesn’t appreciate new fluid.

@@AuzsG35 yea dude never ever fill a motor or transmission up beyond what the owner manual tells u. If it tells u 5qt for engine oil. Don’t put more or less than that. If it says 12qt for tranny don’t put more than that or less than that. 100% accurate. If u had that leak, u should’ve been on top of it and got it fixed right away cause if u don’t then it’s going to rip a hole in ur pocket which I’m pretty sure it did. Now that u have ur new motor and trans, take care of her and she’ll take care of u. I’d recommend doing a oil change and filter for the motor every 3 months. That’s what I do. And for atf u can try doing it every 25,000-30,000 miles. U just don’t want the fluid to lose it’s red color. Hope the best for u my man.

@@Carmizo_ yea I’m just gonna manual swap. I just found out today it’s done so I’m over automatic. I’d sell it but I just put 3k into the motor. Trans was 400$ so might as well run away with my good motor then fuck with auto trans n waste time

👆👆👆 He's Right Ya Know!!! 😄😄😄 Full Disclosure; - I'm driving AT. But it was the most beautiful G35 I ever saw. I couldn't refuse the car. HAD to take it home with me. Even thought it was only, literally 25 yards from his garage to my garage!

Yes I remember. It's possible that your ecu maybe be at fault or a bad connection if you replaced the transmission and it's doing the same thing It's probably not the issue it's hard to say at that point you have to look further into the problem

If it's p1757 eventually you'll have little to no pressure

Hey brother got the same code did you figure it out?

Try removing the transmission pan and checking the screen/filter if it's dirty, that could be the issue. I've seen that code with clogged filters

A scan tool wont pin point the seleniod that is bad but it will give you a code that you can look into, and by looking up common problems, you can usually figure out the issue. For example, a p1757 shows that the seleniod function is erratic but that doesn't mean the sensor is bad. What usually happens is the wire that goes to the seleniod breaks apart and it will throw this code. Repairing the trace will fix the problem

You would need to provide more info like the actual code. You need a decent scan tool to read transmission codes so it's possible

You won't be able to remove the torque converter without turning the engine over by hand

It could be either one depending on the plug type. Jack up the car if you see 3 plugs by the transmission it will be in the cabin

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Thank you very much do you know where could I buy that sensor Nissan doesn't sell it and I can't find it

You probably don't have the transmission aligned properly. Make sure that the engine rotates by using a breaker bad if it doesn't than you need to go back and check what's not installed correctly in the transmission

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE ill do this first thing in the morning! any tips on how to know when its lined up correctly? Before closing it up?

​@MrGodmode5 Yes. Manually rotate engine over a few times, after transmission is all bolted up. Make sure to rotate engine clockwise. If tranny isn't lined up, motor will bind up as it rotates. If it rotates freely, you should be good. Also double check your shifter linkage. Make sure it's in same gear on both transmission AND shifter know in cabin. Quite often it gets bumped into a gear other than one you thought it was. (You can push it fully one direction then count " of clicks to determine gear position.) If it wasn't in same gear when connected it will prevent all from engaging (shift lock switch). Hope that all helps :)

Always check rotation after fitment ..can also check the flex plate is aligned with the crank sensor...flex plates in these are weak as all ever...make sure the transmission slides right on or somethings up..saw a guy once wrench his g35x trans down after aligning the dowels and he flattened the flex plate 😂 it looked 100% correct but needed to be re-aligned...shortly afterwards his car developed a grinding sound at startup that sounded like a stuck starter....ended up being the trans pump had taken damage during the squeeze...car drove fine but sounded clapped..ended up buying it for 3k and giving it a billet flex plate,new trans pump and transgo shift kit...

One more question my g has 180k miles and i want to drain and fill my transmission fluid cause its looking dark in color.would it be ok? I have a hard shift when the car is cold start and take off.

If it's dark you probably are burning up your transmission changing the fluid might make it worse or it might help its your call

There is a small lever on the side of the valve body that connects to a lever coming from the transmission if you don't have that installed correctly it could give you the problem that you have because the vehicle doesn't know that if it's in park or not so you're probably need to drop the pan down and see if that lever on the side is centered correctly

The one you can move fairly easily right? It is centered on the rod in the transmission. But also I went around one more time and noticed before I tried starting it up again, I took off the connectors that are next to the solenoids to clean and I put them on in the wrong order/direction. So do you think the wrong placement of wires shorted the TCM? Or is it a different problem

Update: Sorry to bring my problems here but I got it to turn on. It was just a fuse. However now after adding my fluid and bolting everything, my reverse feels really slow. The other ones seem fine, haven’t test driven tho but the short distance that I moved, it took a lot of gas for the car to go reverse. Any ideas? Another fuse or solenoid or what

It's a small two wire sensor and it's held down by 1 10mm

Some lag is normal but if its's excessive try to change your fluid with oem nissan it might help
