JF011E Banner Rebuild Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
A JF011E that has been slipping on launch, smells burnt, or has started leaking from more than one place has usually reached the point where piecemeal repairs stop paying. This banner rebuild kit, listed under reference TF212004A, gives a rebuilder the core soft parts for a full overhaul of the Jatco JF011E (RE0F10A in Nissan paperwork, F1C1A at Mitsubishi): the gasket and seal set, replacement friction plates and a filter. Owners of a Nissan Altima, Sentra or Rogue, a Dodge Caliber, a Jeep Compass or Patriot, or a Mitsubishi Outlander or Lancer with this CVT are the ones searching for it.
Think of the JF011E as three systems in a row: a lock-up torque converter, a planetary with a forward clutch and a reverse clutch, then the primary and secondary pulleys joined by a steel push belt. The clutches pick direction and stay applied while you sit at a light, so they see heat every time the car idles in gear and every time it launches. The pulleys are squeezed by hydraulic pressure that can run past 800 psi, which is why the seal half of this kit matters as much as the frictions. A hardened seal anywhere in the clutch or pump circuit robs pressure that both the clutches and the pulleys depend on.
The JF011E is easier to diagnose than most CVTs because the case carries pressure taps for the forward clutch, reverse clutch, both pulleys, TCC apply and release, and line pressure. It also has internal pulley pressure sensors whose signal runs from roughly 0.5 volts at zero pressure to 4.5 volts near 870 psi, so a scope on those wires shows whether the pulleys are holding. If line and clutch pressures are low, start with the valve body; the Sonnax wear guide ties delayed engagement and Forward and Reverse slip to worn regulator and manual valve bores. If pressures are right and the launch still slips, the packs are worn and this kit is the repair. Our CVT slipping under load guide and CVT limp mode causes article cover what to read before pulling the unit.
The listing names the JF011E without a year range, and the reference TF212004A is the number to compare against your old kit or your rebuilder's catalog. The JF011E ran from roughly 2007 through the mid-2010s across Nissan, Dodge, Jeep and Mitsubishi, and Mitsubishi even dropped the secondary pressure sensor for 2010, so small production changes do exist. If you have an earlier-year unit, also look at our JF011E banner kit for 2007-2011. When in doubt, send the year and VIN and we will check it before the kit ships. Every JF011E part we stock is on the CVT parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is the catalog reference shown on this listing. Compare it with the number on your old kit or your rebuilder's catalog to confirm you are ordering the same kit.
Usually not on its own. A whine that rises with road speed on this CVT is most often pulley bearing or belt wear, which needs hard parts. This kit fixes slipping and leaks caused by worn frictions and seals.
The JF011E was used in the Caliber, Compass and Patriot as well as Nissan and Mitsubishi models. Because production changes exist, send your year and VIN so we can confirm the kit before it ships.
Steels and bushings that measure worn, the filter and pan gasket, and a cooler if the car runs hot. Inspect the pulleys and belt before closing the case.
Nissan NS-2 in Nissan vehicles. Dodge, Jeep and Mitsubishi specify their own CVT fluid in the owner's manual. Do not use a universal ATF.
