2017 nissan titan transmition repair valve body. won't go above certain speed fix

[@pgmohseni]

Could it be valvebody with no codes? rpm goes up and down when warm, with acceleration

[@smallengineguys]

maybee but could be bad clutches in the auto tranny or low fluid as well.

[@KennethBowman]

This guy knows his transmissions. Tip: Do NOT get a “remanufactured” valve body. Go to the dealer and get the one in the video. It will save you time & money in the end.

[@smallengineguys]

Yep oem new is definitely the way to go.

[@wentworthfrancis9678]

⁠Good day i have a 2017 titan 4x4 7 speed and my valve body is bad also. Is it ok for me to change it out without going to the dealership. And does it need to be program.

[@smallengineguys]

@@wentworthfrancis9678 no you can do it. We didnt need to program this one.

[@BarryFazzio]

Just had mine replaced at the dealer, 2017, 86000 miles. Not cheap. Here's my question: where the original ones faulty causing these failures at low mileage ? And did they change the design on the replacement ones so they'd last longer. Thanks.

[@jessediaz34]

@@BarryFazzio I would like to know that as well. Mine only had 68,000

[@cain_g99]

if you don't mind me asking, how much is not cheap? mine just threw this P0720 code @ 120k miles

[@justinarmstrong6574]

Mine is at 120,000 and just had issues. Took to a transmission guy and he said i needed to replace it. But i dont wanna replace it with garbage parts. ​@caingarcia99

@@cain_g99 I'm wondering as well. Have just over 70k on the clock and it threw that code today along with the shifting problems.

Do these 2017 model valve body's need programming. using the new one from nissan.

[@smallengineguys]

no

[@wentworthfrancis9678]

Bless up am having the same problem with my 2017 titan @ 67399 miles. How much it cost for a valve body w/ installation. Although i can do it .

[@berserk916]

Would this fix the fluttering transmission issues on these? I have a 2018 4x4 Titan that when cold shifts fine. After 10 min when shifting from 3-4 gear I get rpm flutter….? It stays like this . 118k

[@smallengineguys]

@@berserk916 sounds like a shift solenoid going out. This should fix it. There should be a code. Run it on a dealers comp or at least a good commercial comp

Hi, Small Engine repair, I am getting a p0720 code, and it goes to 1, 2, and 3, then get stuck. I took it to the dealer (Coggin Nissan on Atlantic Ave) today, and they said i had to replace the whole transmission. I asked about the valve body, and they said that he won't fix it because of the rough shifting. Do you work in Jacksonville?

[@smallengineguys]

no im in palatka. did you bring in the red titan?

[@random4189]

I just replaced my valve body with the exact same problem. I went to OP Nissan service and replaced the valve body. Now runs great.

[@gustavocastillo9476]

I have the same problem. 1,2,3rd gear and that’s it. 70k miles early 2017 model titan. Getting a different diagnostic in every shop. Do I have to change the speed sensors as well? Also they tell me it’s a special one time only programming valve body. But in this video, you did not do anything other than just change the valve body. Can you tell me if these parts can be bought rebuilt? Thank you.

[@random4189]

@@gustavocastillo9476 I had to purchase a new valve body. I think they had to flash it too maybe, but definitely new valve body. Almost 99% sure. About $2k-$2.5k. I went to the dealership.

[@davidbryant5875]

Got 2006 Titan AT check light .. hardly has any power taking off… then picks up Speed after a few seconds. Reverse has power. Would it be my valve body and tcm ??

[@smallengineguys]

Very possible. What codes is it setting off?

[@evanarnold5062]

How did you full it from the bottom, hose and a squeeze bottle?

[@smallengineguys]

hose and a hand pump

My 2017 Titan has that exact issue. Thank you so much for this video. What's a good price for the replacement? I can buy the part. Asking because I am getting a lot of different prices. Thank you in advance.

[@smallengineguys]

Im sorry i dont price the repair. Im not sure. But honestly 500 in labor almost seems unfair but its what i would charge.

How much can we get the parts for? Can they be rebuilt?

[@jessediaz34]

Do you know if they had to program it?

[@gplata22]

You said this transmission is bullet proof . Did you come across the shudder fix ? Or is it just a TCU update needed.

[@smallengineguys]

@@gplata22 the fix is the valve body

[@gplata22]

The shuddering issue is due to valve body ? I did drain / refill 2 times. The fluid was nasty. The shudder got less noticeable after a couple days. I will keep draining and see what happens. Then we shop for valve body 😮

[@smallengineguys]

@@gplata22 alot of times a tranny flush and some hard shifting by flooring it will help smooth out the shudder. From what i can tell the shutter is caused by a shift solenoid kicking on and of a bunch or sticking partially engaged

[@Evolutiondynamicfitness]

Was this a 4wd or 2wd Titan?

[@channinglittleman6542]

Any guess on why i would be having issues getting in reverse specifically after warming up? All other gears shift fine and when i get it in reverse its strong. When i put it in reverse it acts like its in nuetral, give it some gas itll catch reverse and acts completely normal.

[@smallengineguys]

@@channinglittleman6542 we have not run into that issue yet. It could be either a seal leaking or reverse solenoid going out. Have you gone to the dealer and had it put on the computer?

[@channinglittleman6542]

@@smallengineguys they said there were no codes and just said it needs a new transmission.

[@channinglittleman6542]

@@smallengineguys when it's in reverse it's fine though so fine the guy at the dealer did a burn out on accident trying to give it a little gas to get it in reverse lol

[@smallengineguys]

@@channinglittleman6542 yeah again if its a bad seal it needs a tranny. If its a solenoid it needs a valve body but the valve body should send a code.

[@KennethBowman]

My 2017 Titan XD 5.6l gas had a P0720 code and would not shift out of 3rd gear (40mph). I ordered the valve body. Suddenly it started shifting fine, after a few days. Should I go ahead and change the valve body?

[@smallengineguys]

I mean if its not broke dont fix it. It will act up again so putting a new one in will be needed soon.

[@KennethBowman]

Thank you

[@mwitherspoon100]

Could bouncy rpm and shudder from 2nd to 3rd gear be a valve body problem or would that be something like torque converter?

[@smallengineguys]

could be either but willing to bet valve body. its shifting in and out.

[@BradyMcCabe]

I have this exact issue. I replaced the speed sensor in the tail shaft housing, since that was the DTC I got. Reassembled and still won’t go past third. Dealer just diagnosed it as the valve body was bad. I’d rather swap it on my lift at my home shop, but they quoted 2.3 hrs to program the TCM and BCM…. Is that required? Thank you!!!

[@smallengineguys]

not usually this one was fine after replacement. sometimes the codes need to be reset.

Is this the same transmission in the Titan XD 5.6l gas?

Yes

I replaced the valve body on my 2017 Titan XD and it still won’t shift out of 3rd gear. Still has a P0720 code. What’s your thoughts?
