Another successful repair here, did this exact procedure on an 04 Armada 2wd and it worked like a charm! No programming was required, bought a new tcm with the sensors inside of it on amazon for 100 and installed it with the old oem solenoids!
@@GrimRepairThankyou. I just tried changing it but now my car isn’t turning on.. 🫤 I think it’s because one of the small wire on one of the tabs is a bit messed up or that I didn’t do the thing with the battery. 😖
@@Kat_X085 I'm not there to know for sure, but I wouldn't think those things alone. Would keep your car from starting. Did you leave the door open during the repair and the battery died?
Thank you for the excellent video. I just replaced mine yesterday, but found that the new switch (a Duralast, which is supposed to be good quality), puts the lever too far back, and your hand hits it as you are driving. Really terrible quality! I have to engage the hi-beams to drive without hitting the lever.
@chrisverge7985 I attempted to repair the tcm before I ended up replacing it in this video. I probably put a new gasket on it then, so It wasn't very old. It has been years so I don't remember. Some gaskets are reusable. If in doubt, replace it it should be included with the filter.
Mine is installed, I didnt install it myself but. The Green light comes on at 40 mph but there is no drop in rpm or anything, Any tips on where to check first?
I did pretty much the same thing in my 02 E150. I got a similar vacuum canister and installed it underneath the passenger dashboard. Tapped into those vacuum lines there and used an existing bolt to mount it. Its been working flawlessly for 4 years since I fixed it. Definitely way better than the "proper" fix. Good video!
Reading your other comments, this is an old coil. I am replacing along with the spark plugs, the new coils should have new boots, springs, and seal and I won't have to replace that?
Can someone here help me diagnose my vehicle. I am contemplating on replacing the whole transmission but i dont want to commit into a repair that may only cost to replace just a valve body. I have a 2005 nissan pathfinder v6 5 speed automatic. How the problem started: the problem started when a friend of mine tried parking backwards at a pretty steep hill and of course he let go of the brakes so it moved forward and he pressed on the gas fearing it might roll in to the ditch, the car jerked up the hill in reverse pretty hard. The reverse issue got worse over the days . I had no other choice as we were out camping in a pretty unknow place. I did a trans flush at a place near our camp but didnt fixe the issue. The reverse issue got worse now, before it took 2.5k-3k rpm until the reverse catches and engages now it takes 4-5k rpm till it catches. There are no codes showing, i drove the vehicle about 500km back home and it had no issues driving. It was just the reverse. Being the problem. I also noticed that when i use reverse when the car is cold, the reverse engages at lower rpm although its still higher than normal. The transmission oil is still red and i did smell it when i arrived home and it didnt smell burnt or anything, the car also drived pretty well when i was driving that 500km back. Another thing i notice is that when i am manualy shifting from 2 to 1, it doesnt go to 1? I am just hoping someone could help me diagnose the problem. I tried reseting the tcm by removing the battery for 20-30min and it didnt fix it. The only thing I think that vould be the problem is the valve body or worn down clutch packs. I was thinking of the valve body as the problem more as the transmission oil does smell burnt and looks ok but im also thinking that a vode would show up if there was something wrong with the valve body. If anyone can help me diagnose this please let me know. You can ask me any questions you like about the car
It doesn't sound like the tcm to me, but I don't think anyone is going to be able to give an accurate diagnosis without looking at the car / doing tests.
@@GrimRepair i was thinking it was a faulty selonoid, broken seal(s) from parts of the valve body. Because ive been looking at the trans fluid everytime i used it and it doesnt have any smells that would be a concern. I unfortunately cant drop the pan because im moving to a new place and I dont have any other vehicle to use . Probably bad that i keep using it but i have no other choice
What codes were you throwing or symptoms having prior?i heard its cheaper to rip one off the newer modela and just plug and play. I have 05 altima staying stuck in gears after 5 min driving. P0774 and u1001 .
@samaelmartinus3273 I think I had a u1001, i think it says in the video. Before I replaced the tcm, I had tried to fix it, and it threw a bunch of solinoid codes. Symptoms before I attempted to repair it were it was stuck in 2nd gear, it lasted about a week before it started blowing fuses. That's why I ended up replacing it in this video.
@williamtell7682 Thanks. I've been working on cars for decades. I'm doing what was done from the factory, just rerouting it to a more accessible location.
@slowrunner22 while the float arm is loose, pull up on the lever coming out of the valve so that the water shuts off, push the float under water a little bit, then tighten the arm to the valve.
Thanks for the video brother means a lot. My little brother passed away and left me his truck I’ve only ever worked on it with him and I’ve been lost after 3 years finally started working on it and it’s been a maze lol.
@@GrimRepair I appreciate that brother but that list is long lol one quick one the new fuel filter I got doesn’t have the same bottom that looks like yours in the video is that okay? (It doesn’t have the bttom you can screw off)
EXCELLENT guidance. Removal was much more difficult than installation... because I removed mine before watching this guidance! Upon installation, I used plastic rivets (7mm bought on Amazon) which made it easy, without special rivet gun. Time will tell if these rivets tolerate vibration, but I am optimistic, of course.
I don’t buy it. I doubt someone who didn’t know you had to take the caps off the posts wouldn’t have been able to remove and replace the battery, and if they did they would have rounded off the heads on the bolts on the terminals.
Assuming they drove the vehicle to O'Reilly to get the battery, the team member that sold the battery should also have offered to install that battery for them. Any O'Reilly Auto parts can AND will replace your battery for you absolutely free. Super Start is O'Reilly's proprietary brand.
@@GrimRepair Correct. That's why I started off by saying ASSUMING they drove the vehicle to O'Reilly. Not everyone is a mechanic. It's silly, but at least the effort was made to try and install it on their own. Now they'll know for next time.
