JF011E Clutch Drum 2007-2009, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
Rebuilding an early JF011E (RE0F10A) CVT out of a 2007-2009 Nissan Altima 2.5, Sentra 2.0, Rogue, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass or Patriot and found the clutch drum cracked, the bushing worn through, or the sealing ring lands grooved? This is a remanufactured JF011E clutch drum for the 2007-2009 production years. As the photo shows, it comes as the drum with its input shaft attached, so you are replacing the whole rotating assembly instead of trying to save a shaft with damaged ring lands.
People tend to think a CVT has no clutches. The JF011E does have them, they just do a different job than in a stepped automatic. The steel push belt and the two pulleys make every ratio. Ahead of the pulleys sits a planetary gear set with a forward clutch and a reverse brake, and those only decide direction: Drive or Reverse. This drum carries a clutch pack and its apply piston, and the input shaft feeds oil to that piston through the sealing ring lands you can see machined into the shaft.
On engagement, the valve body does not slam full line pressure into the clutch. A select control valve trims pressure to the forward or reverse clutch so the shift into gear feels soft. Because the clutch only engages once per gear selection and then stays locked, a worn drum usually shows up at the moment you pull the lever into gear, or as slip once the car is loaded.
Engagement complaints on this unit are often hydraulic, not mechanical. A worn pump flow control valve, a lock-up select solenoid fault or wear in the select valves can all cause slow or soft engagement with a perfectly good drum. Check forward clutch and reverse brake pressure at the case taps against spec first, and vacuum-test the select and flow control valve bores. If pressure is right and it still slips, the clutch pack, piston or drum is the problem. Our delayed engagement walkthrough covers the pressure checks in order, and the Jatco CVT problems guide explains how to separate a drum failure from belt and pulley damage.
This listing is for JF011E units built for the 2007-2009 model years. The same transmission went into the Altima four-cylinder, Sentra 2.0, Rogue, Caliber, Compass, Patriot, Outlander and Lancer, but it did not go into the V6 Murano, which used a different Jatco CVT. Internal parts were revised during the production run, so compare the drum, shaft length, spline count and ring land layout to your old part before installing, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. A later-production drum is listed separately as the 2010-2012 JF011E clutch drum. Browse everything we stock for this unit on the CVT parts page.
Ships fast from the USA and is covered by a 1-year warranty.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. The part shown is the drum with the input shaft attached as one assembly, so the shaft ring lands that feed the clutch piston are replaced along with the drum.
The 2009 Rogue used the JF011E, so it is the right family. Compare spline count, shaft length and ring land layout to your old drum, or send us the VIN and we will confirm before it ships.
Not necessarily. Nissan bulletin NTB10-147 describes a 2 to 3 second engagement as normal on this unit. Much longer than that, or slipping once in gear, is worth a pressure test before you condemn the drum.
Sealing rings, piston seals, frictions and steels for that pack, plus a filter and fresh fluid. Flush the cooler so debris from the failed drum does not return to the valve body.
Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid in Nissan models. Dodge, Jeep and Mitsubishi versions call for the CVT fluid named in their own service information. Do not use a conventional ATF.
