Rebuild kit with clutch plates and a new filter for the Jatco JF015E / RE0F11A CVT in Nissan Versa, Versa Note, Sentra 1.8L and Chevy Spark.
This kit is for a Jatco JF015E CVT that is already on the bench for a slipping forward or reverse clutch: the Nissan RE0F11A behind the 1.6L Versa, the Versa Note, the 1.8L Sentra, and the Chevrolet Spark with the CVT. It pairs a set of clutch plates with a replacement filter, so the unit goes back together with fresh friction material and clean filtration in one order. The OE reference listed with the kit is 31728-3JX0A.
A JF015E has two separate jobs inside one case. The belt and pulleys do the variable ratio work, and a compact two-speed planetary set behind the secondary pulley, run by a low brake, a high clutch and a reverse brake, provides direction and the low and high ranges. When a JF015E slips into gear or flares as it pulls away, the friction elements in that planetary section are usually where the material went. The plates in this kit renew that section. The filter catches what those worn plates and the break-in of the pulleys have put in the fluid, which matters on a unit where fine metal is known to wear valves and solenoids at low mileage.
This kit will not cure a damaged variator. Pull the pulleys apart before you commit: the sheave faces can look perfect while the internal balls and rollers are worn, the primary pulley piston can loosen and cross-leak, and the secondary pulley speed sensor reluctor is known to come loose. Inspect the pump flow control valve and its bore too, since that is the most common Jatco wear point. If those check out and the clutches are burnt, this kit is the right fix. For the diagnostic sequence, see our Jatco CVT problems and fixes guide and the harsh or delayed CVT engagement guide.
Listed fitment: 2012-2019 Nissan Versa 1.6L, 2014-2019 Versa Note, 2013-2019 Sentra 1.8L, and 2016-2022 Chevrolet Spark with the CVT. Note this range is wider than our Versa-only clutch pack kit because it includes the Sentra and Spark. Nissan used more than one Jatco CVT across these model years, and the JF016E and JF017E in the Altima and Rogue do not share these parts, so read the code on the case tag before ordering. If the old plates or filter do not match the new ones, stop and contact us with year and VIN. See every part we carry for this unit on the CVT transmission parts collection.
Kit weight is about 6.6 lb and it ships fast from the USA.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes, the listed fitment includes the 2016-2022 Chevrolet Spark with the CVT, along with the 2012-2019 Versa 1.6L, 2014-2019 Versa Note and 2013-2019 Sentra 1.8L. Confirm the JF015E code on the case tag.
No. It carries clutch plates and a transmission filter. The steel belt, pulleys, valve body, step motor and solenoids are sold separately.
No. Those use the larger JF016E or JF017E CVT, which does not share these parts.
Inspect and repair the pump flow control valve, check the primary pulley piston for looseness, tack-weld a loose secondary pulley reluctor, and flush the cooler.
Yes. Update the TCM software and perform the Clutch Point Relearn, or the unit can surge or flare on the low-to-high change.
