JF011E Valve Body 2007-2011, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the JF011E. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2007-2011 Nissan Altima 2.5, Sentra 2.0, Rogue, Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass or Patriot, or a Mitsubishi Lancer or Outlander 2.4 with a JF011E CVT that chatters as you pull away, flares RPM under load, refuses to lock the converter, or goes into limp mode is a strong candidate for a valve body. This remanufactured JF011E valve body covers the 2007-2011 production years and installs as a complete unit with its bores already restored, which saves you from hunting down individual worn valves.
There are no fixed gears to select in this transmission. The valve body regulates line pressure and then feeds two separate circuits that squeeze the steel push belt between the primary and secondary pulleys. Primary pulley oil changes the ratio; secondary pulley oil sets belt clamping force so the belt does not slip. A ratio control valve, positioned by the step motor through a lever, meters oil into the primary pulley. The same casting also controls torque converter lockup and lube flow. When any of those regulator bores wear, the pressure the computer commands is no longer what the pulleys actually see.
Read all stored codes and freeze frame data, then check fluid level and smell. Burnt fluid with heavy steel in the pan points to pulley or bearing damage, and a valve body alone will not save that unit. A clean pan with pressure or lockup complaints points back to the valve body. Sonnax publishes a vacuum test guide for this unit and lists valve kits for the solenoid regulator, primary pressure regulator, secondary pulley control, TCC limit and lube, and lockup control valves, which tells you where these castings typically wear. A shop can vacuum-test those bores, or you can skip the testing and replace the assembly. If an individual solenoid fails its resistance check, a pressure control solenoid or a 9-piece solenoid kit may be all it needs.
This valve body fits the JF011E (Nissan RE0F10A) built for the 2007-2011 model years. That covers the 2007-up Altima 2.5 and Sentra 2.0, the 2008-up Rogue, the Caliber, Compass and Patriot from 2007, and the 2008-up Lancer and Outlander with the 2.4L. The V6 Altima and the Murano use a different CVT and do not take this part. Jatco revised the unit during this run, so compare the casting marks, connector positions and sensor locations on your original against the photos, or send us your year and VIN to confirm. See every part we stock for these transmissions on the CVT parts page.
With the pan off you will see the 22-pin case connector, the internal harness and a small ROM module programmed to match the TCM. Unplug the ROM and harness and move them aside, pull the manual lever, then remove the filter and its support bracket. Slide a 3 mm rod roughly 126 mm long into the access hole beside the bracket to hold the pulley ratio lever before the valve body comes down. Eleven bolts hold it: one short bolt by the manual valve and ten longer perimeter bolts. On reinstall the ratio lever has to index onto the pin of the primary pulley follower or the transmission will not change ratio and will set codes.

No. The V6 Altima uses a different, larger CVT. This valve body is for the JF011E found behind the 2.5L Altima and the other four-cylinder applications listed.
It can when the shudder comes from worn lockup or converter pressure regulator bores. If the pan is full of steel or the pulleys are scored, the problem is mechanical and a valve body will not cure it.
Keep the ROM that came with your vehicle. It is calibrated to your TCM, and installing a different one can set a calibration mismatch code that requires reprogramming.
Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid in Nissan models. Dodge, Jeep and Mitsubishi versions specify their own CVT fluid, so follow the owner's manual. Never use conventional ATF.
Yes. The valve body comes out from under the pan. Watch the manual shaft sleeve so it does not drop out, and make sure the ratio lever indexes on the pulley follower pin when you reinstall.
