Master overhaul kit for the JF011E / RE0F10A CVT: frictions, steels, seals and the internal filter for Nissan Altima, Rogue and Jeep Compass.
If your Nissan Altima 2.5, Rogue, Sentra or X-Trail, or a Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot or Dodge Caliber, is flaring on a light-throttle cruise, slipping when you lean on it, or showing burnt fluid on the dipstick, the JF011E CVT is usually past the point where a fluid change will help. This master rebuild kit is built for that teardown: forward and reverse clutch frictions, steel plates, the complete gasket set, valve body and pulley piston o-rings and lathe-cut seals, and the internal oil filter that gets forgotten on a lot of parts orders. It covers the unit under all three of its names: Jatco JF011E, Nissan RE0F10A and Mitsubishi F1CJA.
The JF011E moves the car through a steel push belt running between a primary and a secondary pulley. Line pressure squeezes each pulley half through a piston, and that clamping force is what keeps the belt from slipping. Ahead of the pulleys sits a simple planetary with a forward clutch and a reverse brake, so the frictions in this kit only see work during engagement, but the pulley piston seals hold pressure every second the car is moving. When those seals harden with heat and age, line pressure bleeds off and the belt loses its grip on the sheaves. This kit renews every rubber and paper sealing surface in the case plus both clutch packs, so the unit comes back with full clamping pressure and fresh engagement material.
Pull the pan first. Fine friction material and a dark varnish point to clutch and seal wear that this kit fixes. Heavy steel hair on the magnet with a whine that climbs with road speed points to pitted pulley bearings or a damaged belt, which need parts beyond this kit. Scan for stored codes and check line and secondary pressure if your tool supports it; a worn regulator valve bore in the valve body can mimic seal leakage, which is why a vacuum test of the valve body is worth doing during the rebuild. Our CVT slipping under load guide walks through separating a pressure problem from a belt problem, and the Jatco CVT problems and fixes guide covers the common JF011E failures.
This kit fits JF011E, RE0F10A and F1CJA units in the Nissan Altima 2.5L, Rogue, Sentra and X-Trail, the Jeep Compass and Patriot, the Dodge Caliber, the Suzuki Kizashi, and Mitsubishi applications carrying the F1CJA casting. Read the tag on the case before ordering. The later JF015E and JF016E units use different clutch stacks and filters and are not covered, and Nissan calls several different CVTs by similar names. If you are unsure, send us the year and VIN and we will confirm. You can browse every CVT part we carry on our CVT parts page.
If the valve body tests worn, a remanufactured JF011E valve body is the cleaner fix than reusing it on a fresh rebuild.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. The internal oil filter is included along with the frictions, steels, gasket set, o-rings and seals, so you do not need to order the filter separately.
No. Those later units use different clutch stacks and filters. This kit is for the JF011E, RE0F10A and F1CJA only. Check the tag on the case or send us your year and VIN.
No. It covers the frictions, steels, seals, gaskets and filter. If your unit is whining with steel hair on the magnet, plan on a belt or pulley bearings in addition to this kit.
Use Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid on Nissan applications, or the CVT fluid the vehicle maker specifies on Jeep, Dodge and Mitsubishi models. Reset the fluid deterioration counter with a scan tool afterward.
The listing specifies FKM fluorine rubber seals with ACM rubber at the high-heat locations, and NAK oil seals.
