JF011E Overhaul Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Nissan Altima, Sentra or Rogue, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass or Patriot, or Mitsubishi Outlander or Lancer has a Jatco JF011E CVT that is weeping fluid from the case, hesitating into gear, or losing grip once the fluid is hot, the transmission is often telling you it can no longer hold pressure. This new JF011E overhaul kit is the soft-parts package for a teardown. The label on the package in our photo reads overhaul kit for the RE0F10A and JF011E, 2006 on, without pistons, so it is the seal and gasket side of the job rather than a complete parts kit.
The JF011E is a steel push-belt CVT. Nothing in it shifts in the usual sense; instead the valve body meters oil into a piston chamber behind the primary pulley and another behind the secondary pulley, and that oil pressure both clamps the belt and sets the ratio. A forward clutch and reverse brake ahead of the pulleys only pick direction. Shop pressures in this family run high, and the unit has separate taps for line, primary pulley, secondary pulley, forward clutch, reverse brake and converter clutch apply and release, which tells you how many separate sealed circuits there are. An overhaul kit replaces the rubber and Teflon that keep those circuits closed: pulley and clutch piston seals, sealing rings on the shafts, valve body and passage O-rings, and the case, side cover and pan gaskets. Because this kit is the version without pistons, plan on reusing your bonded pistons if they are in good shape, or ask us before ordering if you need them.
Do not judge a JF011E on a short delay alone. Nissan bulletin NTB10-147 describes a 2 to 3 second delay into Drive and Reverse as normal on these units, and the delay is partly controlled by the lock-up select solenoid and select switching valve, not only by seals. Hook a scan tool up, check fluid level and condition, then put gauges or transducers on the pressure taps and compare circuits. A low reading on one pulley or clutch circuit points to seals; low readings everywhere point to the pump flow control valve or valve body bores. Our Jatco CVT problems and fixes guide lays out that order, and CVT slipping under load covers what a slip that shows up only when hot is telling you.
This listing covers the JF011E, which Nissan calls the RE0F10A. The package is marked 2006 on, and the same unit was used in the Nissan Altima, Sentra 2.0 and Rogue, the Mitsubishi Outlander, Outlander Sport and Lancer, the Dodge Caliber and the Jeep Compass and Patriot. Valve bodies, side covers and pans changed between Nissan, Mitsubishi and Chrysler versions and across model years, so confirm the transmission ID tag on your case or send us the year and VIN before you order. The later JF016E and JF017E units used in 2014 and newer Rogue models are a different design and do not take this kit. Browse every belt CVT part we stock on the CVT parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The package in our photo is labeled as the overhaul kit for RE0F10A and JF011E, 2006 on, without pistons. That means seals, sealing rings, O-rings and gaskets. If you need frictions, steels, bonded pistons or a filter, plan to buy them separately or ask us before ordering and we will confirm the contents.
Usually not. The 2014 and newer Rogue moved to the JF016E and JF017E CVT, which is a different design. This kit is for the JF011E, Nissan code RE0F10A. Check the transmission ID on the case or send us your year and VIN.
Not necessarily. Nissan bulletin NTB10-147 lists a 2 to 3 second delay as normal on these units. If the delay is much longer, slips once warm, or comes with a leak, pressure testing will tell you whether seals or the valve body is the cause.
Nissan applications use Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid. Dodge, Jeep and Mitsubishi versions of this transmission specify their own CVT fluid, so follow the owner's manual for your vehicle and check level at operating temperature.
No. A whine that rises with road speed on the JF011E usually comes from worn pulley bearings, and a belt or pulley that is scored needs hard parts. Seals fix leaks and pressure loss, not bearing or belt noise.
