About this product

Later JF011E (RE0F10A) CVTs from 2010 through 2012 rack up big mileage in commuter cars, and when one of them comes apart with burned clutches and a slow, slipping engagement into gear, the drum is often scrap. This is a remanufactured JF011E clutch drum for the 2010-2012 years, for rebuilds on the Nissan Altima 2.5, Rogue, Sentra 2.0, Mitsubishi Outlander, Outlander Sport and Lancer, Dodge Caliber, and Jeep Compass and Patriot. The photo shows the drum supplied with its input shaft and with sealing rings in place on the shaft.

How the clutch drum works in a JF011E

Ratio change in this transmission happens entirely in the pulleys and steel push belt. Getting the car to go forward or backward is the job of a simple planetary set in front of the primary pulley, controlled by a forward clutch and a reverse brake. This input shaft and drum assembly carries a clutch pack and its piston; oil to apply the piston is fed through the shaft and sealed by the rings on it. Once the selected clutch is applied it stays locked, so the drum carries engine torque all the time the car is in gear.

The engagement itself is controlled from the valve body. A lock-up select solenoid moves a switching valve so that a select control valve can feed reduced pressure to the forward or reverse clutch, then the solenoid hands the circuit back to torque converter lockup a few seconds later. That is why a slow engagement on this unit can be a hydraulic fault, a clutch fault, or both.

Symptoms

How to confirm it is the drum

Before you buy, read the codes and check pump and clutch pressure. Sonnax lists forward clutch pressure as the first check for stall on engagement and for chatter on acceleration, and its vacuum test guide shows how worn valve body bores cause slips in Forward and Reverse that mimic a bad clutch. If pressures are correct and it still slips, the hardware is at fault. If you also hear a whine or feel flare at speed, the belt and pulleys need inspection; our CVT failure patterns guide and the Jatco CVT problems guide explain how to tell those failures apart.

Fitment

This drum is listed for 2010-2012 JF011E units. The Mitsubishi versions are sold under the F1CJA name and Chrysler and Jeep used their own identifiers, but they share the JF011E design. Jatco revised parts during the run, so the 2010-2012 drum should be compared to yours for spline count, shaft length and the sealing ring groove layout before installation. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN. Earlier units have their own 2007-2009 JF011E clutch drum listing, and the full range of parts for this unit is on the CVT parts page.

JF011E Clutch Drum 2010-2012: common questions

Will this fit a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport?

The 2011 Outlander Sport CVT is a JF011E family unit. Match spline count, shaft length and ring groove layout to your old drum, or send us the VIN to confirm before ordering.

Is it different from the 2007-2009 drum?

It is listed separately because internal parts were revised during the run. Compare the two drums side by side or let us check your VIN; do not assume early and late drums interchange.

It slips in Drive and Reverse. Is that the drum?

Slip in both directions usually points to low pump volume or valve body wear feeding both circuits. Slip in only one direction is more likely that clutch, its piston or the drum.

What should I replace with the drum?

New sealing rings, piston seals, frictions and steels, a filter, and fresh CVT fluid. Check the pump and valve body if pressures tested low.

Does the transmission need a relearn?

The drum itself needs no programming. If you replace the valve body or swap the transmission, the TCM must have the matching calibration data, and you should clear codes and check pressures after the repair.
