JF011E Clutch Drum 2013, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2013 vehicle with the JF011E CVT that will not pull in Drive, flares on takeoff, or came out of a rebuild with no forward engagement often needs its clutch drum replaced rather than just new frictions. This is a remanufactured OEM JF011E clutch drum for the 2013 model year, supplied as the drum and shaft assembly in the photo, for a rebuilder or a DIYer who already has the case apart.
The JF011E is a belt CVT, but it still needs a way to choose direction. Ahead of the pulleys it has a torque converter, a single planetary set, a forward clutch and a reverse brake. The pulleys handle ratio; the clutch and brake only decide whether the car goes forward, backward or nowhere. Because the CVT never shifts gears, the forward clutch applies once when you select Drive and then stays applied for the entire drive, carrying every bit of engine torque the belt sees.
The drum is the rotating housing for that pack. It holds the steel and friction plates, carries the apply piston, and routes fluid to the piston through the sealing rings on its shaft. If the drum cracks, the spline lugs wear, or the ring lands on the shaft wear, apply pressure bleeds off before it reaches the piston and the pack slips.
Rule out the cheaper causes first. Check fluid level and condition, scan for codes, and if you have a pressure gauge read the forward clutch tap; Sonnax lists forward clutch pressure as a test for chatter on acceleration and for RPM surge or stalling when the selector goes into gear. Low forward pressure with good line pressure points at the valve body or the drum circuit. Worn select control and clutch reducing regulator valve bores cause the same harsh or late engagement, so vacuum test those before condemning hard parts. Our CVT harsh or delayed shifts walkthrough lays out the order, and once the unit is apart, air check the drum: a good one holds air and you hear the piston apply.
This listing is for the JF011E, also known as Nissan RE0F10A and Mitsubishi F1CJA, for 2013. By that year some Nissan models had moved on to newer Jatco CVTs, so confirm the transmission code on your unit before you order. Lay your old drum next to the photo and compare the shaft: this one has an O-ring just below the input splines and sealing rings at the base of the shaft. Earlier drums used a different shaft, which is why we stock separate 2010-2012 and 2007-2009 versions. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN before it ships. Everything else for this unit is on our CVT parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Not without checking. Earlier JF011E drums used different shafts. Compare your old drum's shaft with the photo, or send us your year and VIN and we will tell you which version you need.
Only if the drum is the cause. A short pause is normal on these units, and worn select control or pump flow control valve bores in the valve body cause long delays too. Pressure test and inspect before buying.
No. It is the drum and shaft assembly shown. Plan on new frictions, steels and seals from a rebuild kit.
Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid. Do not use conventional ATF.
Yes. After the transmission is reassembled, clear codes and run the CVT learn procedure for your vehicle with a capable scan tool before the road test.
