JF011E Overhaul Kit 2007, new and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
A first-year JF011E that leaks from the side cover, takes a few seconds to grab Drive on a cold morning, or slips once it is hot has usually lost sealing somewhere inside. This new JF011E overhaul kit is built for the 2007 model year, when the CVT first appeared behind the Nissan Altima 2.5 and Sentra 2.0 and in the Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot. It gives you the soft parts to tear the unit down and put it back together tight.
In a stepped automatic the seals mostly feed clutches. In the JF011E they also hold the pressure that clamps the steel belt. The primary and secondary pulleys each have a piston chamber, and the valve body sends oil to those chambers to squeeze the belt and change ratio. A forward clutch and reverse brake, applied through a planetary set ahead of the pulleys, only choose direction. Every one of those circuits relies on piston seals, sealing rings, O-rings and gaskets. When they harden or wear, the pump has to work harder to make the same clamping force, fluid temperature climbs, and heat is what finishes most of these transmissions.
The photo for this listing shows a sealed gasket and seal overhaul package together with a separate bag of friction plates, so this set is aimed at a full teardown rather than just a reseal. Steels, filters, bearings and hard parts are not shown; if you need to know exactly what is in the box before ordering, ask us and we will confirm.
Some engagement delay on these early units is normal; Nissan bulletin NTB10-147 described a 2 to 3 second pause into Drive or Reverse as acceptable on affected cars. Beyond that, put gauges on the line and forward clutch taps. Low pressure in one circuit points at its seals, while low pressure everywhere can be a worn pump flow control valve or valve body bores, which a seal kit will not cure on its own. A speed-related whine with steel hair on the magnet is pulley bearing wear, not a seal problem. Our guide to CVT slipping under load and the CVT failure patterns guide help you sort that out before pulling the unit.
This kit is listed for the 2007 JF011E, which Nissan labels RE0F10A. For 2007 that means the Altima 2.5, Sentra 2.0, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot; the 3.5-liter Murano of that era used a different CVT and does not take this kit. Jatco revised parts during the run, so confirm the tag on your case reads JF011E or RE0F10A and send us your year and VIN if you want a second check. If your unit is a later build, compare the JF011E overhaul kit for 2007-2019. All related parts are listed on the CVT parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.

No. The 2007 Murano used the earlier RE0F09A CVT. This kit is for the JF011E (RE0F10A) used in the 2007 Altima 2.5, Sentra 2.0, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Patriot.
Usually not. A whine that rises with road speed is typically pulley bearing wear, and belt or pulley damage needs hard parts. The kit fixes leaks and pressure loss.
Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid in Nissan applications. Dodge and Jeep models call for their own maker-specified CVT fluid. Do not use conventional ATF.
Clear codes, reset the CVT fluid degradation counter on Nissan models with a scan tool, check fluid level at the specified temperature and road test for engagement and ratio change.
