P0745 - Nissan Versa (2007-2012), Hard Shifting Troubleshoot and Fix (Automatic Transmission)

This issue is pretty common for automatic transmission Nissans between about 2000-2015 if you get a hard "ka chunk"/ hard shift between gears, usually hardest between roughly 1200-2200 rpm and the only code that comes up is a P0745, its probably this issue. P0745 is an electrical code related to the transmission solenoid, this is what shifts your gears, hence the loud shifting. You can troubleshoot this before spending the money on the part.
I'll show you on my 2007 Nissan Versa Sedan, the engine bay of the '07-'12 sedan and hatchback should have same procedure for this particular issue.
The part numbers are 31037-0E600 OR 31037-AN100. These parts are interchangeable, except for a bracket added to the 31037-AN100, this part supersedes the 31037-0E600 which is not made anymore. Removing the bracket allows the 31037-AN100 to drop right into any vehicle that used a 31037-0E600.

Thanks

[@susanverave7221]

I have a nissan bluebird sylphy. I did a scan and it's showing line pressure solenoid. Do you think its the same problem?

[@alexquezada510]

I have a 2010 nissan rogue cvt level is good but 80% of the time when shifting from P to R or D it shifts pretty hard, any idea if a bad valve body could be the culprit? (Mounts are good)

[@MrWWEHD17]

hi, planning to buy one. is it reliable? consumption at 130km/h?

[@mavicki8503able]

What if there is no check engine light but hard shifting? Will it still be this part? Thank you

[@Marcos-tp9ey]

I have a 2010 nissan versa and the first gear hits me. I would have to change that piece, it only hits the first gear, the others change well

[@martinjoyal9643]

Cant y have thé part number please for the solénoïde transmission nissan versa 2011 bad shif second gear please

[@vickichalk9710]

I have a 2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 4 4:24 cyl automatic Transmission and it shifts hard from stop to first and then it's okay, could this part be my problem

[@JoeRobertsPersonalpage]

2007 NSSAN SENTRA TAKES A WHILE TO SHIFT IN TO 4TH AND 5TH AND SHIFTS HARD INTO REVERSE. I GOT CODE PO745 PRESSURE CONTROLSOLENOID (A). COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM?

[@juancarlos-rq6en]

I have a Nissan Sentra 2006, it’s a same transmission?

[@kholokholo5]

I have Nissan tiida 2011 i have the same issue, transmission got delay on shifting and engin RPM go high to 5 RPM. I did scan it's showing ( line pressure S/V) can you advise me please what should i do?

[@TaranRamjit]

Get the link pressure checked.

[@nkjeetun3877]

happens only during city driving? or all the time?

[@danielferrer5922]

Hello friend, I have a similar problem, I have a 2008 Nissan Versa Hatchback with automatic transmission, when the second speed enters it knocks and the code P0745 and P0045 appears in the scanner, I saw your video and the part you replaced is supposed to have my car but it is not like that, I wanted to verify if the part was in good condition and my car did not have that part, I do not know if it is normal or not, could you help me? Good video by the way.

[@brettkammer2680]

While I am not familiar with the hatchback setup, it should still be there, this is a very common part between Nissans and Infinitis at least from 2003-2012 minimum (likely also Datsum). I did google a bit (try P0745, 09 Versa, a forum post shows the location, albeit a bit poorly) and I believe it is under your engine fuse box, if there is just a dangling wire instead that is a bigger problem. It may also be the shifting solenoid but I have no dealt with that on this car. Your car should definitely have this resistor though. Good luck

[@danielferrer5922]

@@brettkammer2680 So my car must have that part without a doubt, thank you very much friend!

[@findout4165]

Pls my Nissan versa 2007 make that noise also and can't accelerate

[@notsure9079]

Your check engine light was on at the end.

[@brettkammer2680]

I took that video before clearing the code. It did not come back on, after. So the videos are just out of chronological order

[@maliamusimbi2718]

Hi, what is the name of this part?

[@Dennis69698]

Yes please name of part

[@rocassi42]

Is it bad to drive the vehicle with this issue? Or is it okay to drive?

[@brettkammer2680]

It is "ok" for a while, I drove it for maybe 500-1000 km before I fixed this. I recommend fix this as soon as possible as it is definitely adding additional wear to the transmission components which is a much much costlier fix, which is likely worth more than the car.

[@user-uq6xz9br6c]

I have a problem with the first and second gears, and it gets kicked in the Nissan Versa

[@adamreynoso8143]

Did you fix it?

[@perryscott6693]

I have a Infiniti g35 with the same code do you think this could be the problem?

[@brettkammer2680]

If its an older G35 it is possible. Check your transmission fluid to make sure its good, easiest first step, then go after the resistor and measure it. Part number will be different but it is, apparently after a quick google, located near the driver side strut tower.

[@Adventures0fJames]

Your check engine light was on at the end.

[@marstedt]

Nissan Versa - Automatic, not CVT. Correct?

[@brettkammer2680]

As far as I know this is Automatic only

[@marstedt]

@@brettkammer2680 The door tag should have a transmission code number. Looks like there was a manual, automatic and CVT transmission available. The part numbers you've listed is for a resistor and I don't think that's used on the CVT models.

[@ofalejandro12]

is this for automatic transmission only or cvt???? too

[@bbbbreaksttv]

Nissan versa has cvt bud

[@scotthyland-hill9633]

i have like that bet he read. 15 vote. good or not

[@mikeschwark3159]

What is rhe part called ffs cmon man

[@brettkammer2680]

General part is referred to as a drop resistor, the part for this vintage of Nissan versa is 31037-AN100, listed both in the decription and in the video.
