Overhaul kit for the Nissan JF015E / RE0F11A CVT with frictions, steels, pistons and a filter for a Sentra, Versa or Rogue coming apart on the bench.
This is the most complete soft-parts kit we carry for the Jatco JF015E CVT, which Nissan lists as the RE0F11A. It is meant for the Versa, Versa Note or Sentra that has lost Reverse, will not pull in Drive, or shudders on every takeoff, once the unit is out of the car and apart. In one box you get clutch friction plates, steel plates, the clutch pistons, the seals and gaskets, and a new filter. It cross-references to Nissan numbers 31728-3JX0A and 31726-1XF02.
The RE0F11A drives through a steel push belt between two variable pulleys, then through a two-speed planetary sub-gearbox that supplies low range, high range and reverse. When a forward clutch or the reverse brake in that sub-gearbox burns up, the debris does not stay put: it circulates through the valve body and the filter and works into every seal. Renewing the plates alone leaves tired piston lips that apply the new frictions softly, and renewing seals alone leaves glazed plates. This kit covers plates, pistons, seals and filter together, which is what an honest overhaul of the sub-gearbox needs.
Before you commit to a rebuild, inspect the parts this kit does not replace. The Gears Magazine JF015E bench notes point out that the pulleys can look perfect on the sheave face while the balls and rollers inside are damaged, that the primary pulley piston can loosen and crossleak, and that the reluctor on the secondary pulley can come loose and confuse the speed sensor. Any of those means pulley or belt parts on top of this kit. Our CVT failure patterns guide explains how each failure shows up, and CVT limp mode causes helps if the car is also dropping into fail-safe.
The listing names the Versa, Versa Note, Sentra, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Altima, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, Quest and NV from 2013 to 2019. In practice, the JF015E lives behind the 1.6L and 1.8L engines; the larger engines in that list generally use a different, bigger Jatco CVT that needs a different kit. Match the code on your transmission tag and the number on your old filter before ordering, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. Every part we stock for these transmissions is on our CVT parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Clutch friction plates, steel plates, the clutch pistons, the seals and gaskets, and a new filter. The belt, pulleys, pump, valve body and solenoids are not included.
The listing cross-references Nissan 31728-3JX0A and 31726-1XF02. Compare those with your old parts as a fitment check.
Only the vehicles built with the JF015E / RE0F11A. That is mainly the 1.6L and 1.8L applications such as the Versa, Versa Note and Sentra. Confirm the code on your transmission tag or send your year and VIN.
If the reverse brake or its piston has failed, yes, because the kit replaces both the plates and the piston. If the cause is a worn pump flow control valve or a valve body fault, those parts must be repaired too.
It is a good idea. New CVT internals shed fine metal while they break in, and that debris wears valves and solenoids. An early change with Nissan NS-3 fluid and a new filter protects the rebuild.
Yes. Complete the TCM resets and the Clutch Point Relearn drive cycle with a scan tool that supports Nissan CVTs, or the unit may surge and flare.
