I've put my code reader on my Nissan frontier 2006. And the code it said was a P1757 code. And I brought it two The Nissan dealership and another shop. And they both said that the transmission needed to be replaced. But I'm still not totally sure of a total replacement is needed. Because the cde says it is a front brake solenoid problem. So I'm totally confused on what I should do because a rebuilt transmission and install here where I live is between $4,000 to $6,000. I tried disconnecting the battery and resetting the system that way. But it didn't work. Thanks for your video.🙂👍

Hi, I have a 2011 Chevy Tahoe. my trans kicks out of gear shifting from 1st-2nd. If I put it in manual and shift it from 1st to 2nd it will go into 2nd with no prob and put it back in drive it drives and shifts fine. It only does this when shifting from 1st -2nd. Any help ? 😩
