Master rebuild kit for the Jatco JF015E / RE0F11A CVT in 2013-2019 Nissan Versa, Versa Note, Sentra and Rogue Sport.
If your 2014-2019 Nissan Versa Note, 2018-2019 Versa or 2016-2019 Sentra flares between low and high range, slips pulling away from a light, or shudders under light throttle, and the unit is already coming out of the car, this master rebuild kit is the starting point for the overhaul. It is built for the Jatco JF015E, which Nissan tags RE0F11A, and it carries the 31728-3JX0A reference used on these Xtronic units. The goal is simple: once the case is split, the seals and soft parts are all on the bench, so the job is not stalled waiting on one O-ring.
The JF015E is the small Jatco CVT7 unit, and it is not a pure belt-and-pulley box. Behind the pulleys sits an auxiliary gearbox: a Ravigneaux planetary set with a low brake, a high clutch and a reverse brake. The low brake holds the sun gear from takeoff, the high clutch locks the ring gear to the carrier for high range, and the reverse brake holds the high clutch drum for reverse. Every one of those clutches is applied by hydraulic pistons sealed with rubber and sealing rings, and the primary and secondary pulley pistons are sealed the same way. When those seals harden or the rings wear, apply pressure leaks off, the clutches slip during the low-to-high shift, and the pulleys lose clamping force on the belt. A master kit replaces that sealing package in one pass so the whole unit holds pressure again.
Not every JF015E complaint needs a full overhaul. A scored pump flow control valve or a worn valve body bore can mimic clutch slip, and so can a skipped relearn after an earlier repair. Pull codes, check the fluid level and condition, and read our Jatco CVT Nissan problems and fixes guide to separate hydraulic faults from worn hard parts. If slip only shows up under load, our CVT slipping under load guide walks through the pressure checks. If the belt and pulleys are scored, budget for a kit that includes them rather than reusing damaged parts.
The listing covers the JF015E / RE0F11A in the 2014-2019 Versa Note, 2018-2019 Versa and 2016-2019 Sentra, plus the 2017-2019 Rogue Sport. Nissan used more than one CVT family across these platforms and engine sizes, so the Rogue Sport in particular should be confirmed before ordering. Read the transmission ID plate on the case and match it to RE0F11A, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it for you. You can compare every unit we stock on the CVT transmission parts page.
If the frictions are burnt, add the JF015E clutch pack kit, and if the pulley bearings are rough, pair it with the JF015E pulley bearing kit. Fresh filters and fluid for the refill are in the JF015E service kit with NS-3.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The 2016-2019 Sentra 1.8L with the RE0F11A / JF015E CVT is on the listed fitment. Confirm the RE0F11A code on the transmission ID plate, or send us the year and VIN and we will check it.
Only if the hard parts are good. If the belt, pulley sheaves, pulley balls and rollers, bearings and pump valve bore pass inspection, renewing the seals restores apply pressure. A scored belt or pulley has to be replaced as well.
Genuine Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Other CVT fluids change friction behavior and can bring back shudder and flare complaints.
Yes. Run the CVT fluid deterioration reset and, where the service information calls for it, initialize the TCM and load calibration data. Do the clutch point relearn last; skipping it is a common cause of surging and flare between low and high range.
Inspect and replace as needed: the pump flow control valve or the pump itself, the primary pulley piston, pulley bearings, the belt if it is marked, and the filters. Burnt frictions call for a full clutch pack kit.
