JF011E Clutch Drum 2007, used and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
2007 was the first model year the JF011E (RE0F10A) CVT went into Nissan and Chrysler products in North America, and a lot of those first-year units are now on the bench with a slip into gear or a no-move complaint. This is a used, original-equipment JF011E clutch drum for the 2007 model year, for builders working on a 2007 Altima 2.5, Sentra 2.0, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass or Jeep Patriot who need a factory drum instead of a full replacement transmission.
The belt and pulleys in this CVT handle ratio change on their own. Direction is handled separately, by a planetary set with a forward clutch and a reverse brake located ahead of the primary pulley. The drum in the photo is the input shaft and drum assembly: the shaft takes torque in through its splines, and the drum holds a clutch pack and the piston that clamps it. Oil to apply that piston travels down the shaft and past the sealing rings sitting in the grooves on the shaft.
That layout means the drum takes the full engine torque every time the car launches. If the clutch pack slips, the heat goes straight into the drum and its piston, so a hard-driven first-year unit often shows a blued or cracked drum, worn ring grooves, or a piston that no longer seals.
Many 2007 units have delayed engagement from worn valve body bores or a weak pump flow control valve, and a drum will not fix those. Put a gauge on the forward clutch tap and the reverse brake tap, compare against spec, and only blame the clutch hardware if the pressure is good and the unit still slips. If you are seeing slip once the car is moving rather than at engagement, read our guide to CVT slipping under load, because belt and pulley wear causes a very different kind of flare. The limp mode guide helps if the unit has also dropped into fail-safe.
This drum is listed for the 2007 JF011E. Because Jatco revised internal parts across the run, lay this drum next to yours and match the spline count, shaft length and the number and position of the sealing ring grooves before you commit, or send us the year and VIN and we will check it. It is a used take-out, not remanufactured, so it arrives in the condition it came out of a running unit. If you would rather have a remanufactured drum, see the remanufactured 2007-2009 JF011E clutch drum. All other parts for this unit are on our CVT parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Used original-equipment. It is a take-out part, not remanufactured. Inspect the bushing, ring grooves and piston bore before you install it, and fit new seals.
The 2007 Caliber CVT is a JF011E variant, but valve bodies and some internal parts differ by vehicle. Match the drum to your old one or send us the VIN to confirm.
It is not recommended. If the old drum failed, the frictions have almost always overheated too. Replace the frictions and steels and set clearance to spec.
On the JF011E the most common causes after a rebuild are a cut sealing ring on the input shaft, a rolled piston seal, or low clutch pressure from the valve body. Air-check the drum before assembly.
Clutch hardware itself needs no programming, but if the valve body or TCM is changed the unit needs the matching calibration data, and a scan tool should be used to clear codes and check pressure data after the drive.
