Remanufactured JF015E / RE0F11A CVT valve body with solenoids for Nissan Versa, Versa Note, Note, Tiida and Chevy Spark. No programming needed.
This is the later, updated-layout JF015E valve body - the version Nissan revised partway through this CVT's production run so it drops in without any programming step. It arrives remanufactured with the solenoids and internal harness already mounted, built for the Nissan Versa, Versa Note, Note and Tiida along with the Chevrolet Spark and Suzuki Swift that share this Jatco CVT.
The JF015E (Nissan calls it the RE0F11A) is a Jatco CVT with a sub-gearbox in front of the pulleys, and the valve body is the hydraulic control center for the whole unit. It routes line pressure through the bores and spool valves that apply the sub-gearbox clutches and hold pulley ratio, and it carries the solenoids the computer pulses to command every shift and lockup event. Gears Magazine's writeup on this transmission notes that pressure and performance codes on the JF015E frequently trace to the pump's flow control valve or a worn valve body bore rather than belt damage - which is exactly the failure point this assembly replaces as a unit.
Worn solenoid bores and a tired pressure control solenoid let line pressure drop under load, and on a CVT that shows up as belt slip even when the belt and pulleys themselves are fine - so replacing the whole valve body resets pressure control in one step instead of swapping solenoids individually.
Scan for codes and compare your old valve body's solenoid pack and connector to the photos before ordering - this is the later, covered-pack style. If what you have instead shows exposed solenoid coils across the top with a white multi-pin connector, you have the earlier layout; see our early-style JF015E valve body instead, since the two are not interchangeable.
This valve body fits the JF015E as used in the Nissan Versa 2012-2015, Versa Note 2014-2015, Note 2013-2015 and Tiida 2011-2015, plus the Sentra 2015, Chevrolet Spark 2013-2015 and Suzuki Swift 2012-2015, crossing to OE numbers 31705-X427D, 31705-X427E, 31705-X428B, 31705-X428C and 31705-X428E. It does not fit the 2013-2016 Sentra 1.8L that uses a different revision of 31705-X428C in that application - check the casting number on your original unit before ordering if you have that car. If you need the full-coverage Sentra and Versa listing that spans 2013-2019, see our complete JF015E valve body with solenoids.
Drop the pan, unplug the internal harness at the case connector, and swap the complete assembly - because this is the updated layout, there is no separate programming step to complete afterward. Replace the filter and pan gasket at the same time so debris from the old unit does not circulate through the new valve body; our JF015E service kit with filter, gasket and NS-3 fluid covers that in one order. Refill with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid and check the level at the specified temperature, then clear codes and let the TCM relearn before judging the shift feel - a worn primary pulley piston or a loose speed sensor reluctor can mimic valve body symptoms, so if the judder persists after a correctly relearned valve body, check those next. A worn JF015E oil pump assembly can also cause low line pressure that mimics a valve body fault, so rule that out if the symptom returns after a correct install.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
This is the later, updated JF015E valve body layout Nissan released partway through this CVT's production run, built to drop in as a direct replacement without a separate programming step.
This version has a covered solenoid pack. If your old unit shows exposed solenoid coils across the top with a white multi-pin connector, you have the earlier layout and need the other valve body listing instead.
Nissan Versa 2012-2015, Versa Note 2014-2015, Note 2013-2015, Tiida 2011-2015, Sentra 2015, Chevrolet Spark 2013-2015 and Suzuki Swift 2012-2015. It does not fit the 2013-2016 Sentra 1.8L.
Shudder on light acceleration, slipping or RPM flare pulling away from a stop, delayed engagement into Drive, or limp mode with codes P0776, P0778 or P17F0.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid only, checked and set at the manufacturer's specified temperature window after the refill.
A worn primary pulley piston or a loose secondary pulley speed sensor reluctor can produce similar symptoms. Confirm the TCM relearn completed, then check those components if judder persists.
