JF016E Overhaul Kit 2012-2020, new and ready to install. Fits the JF016E. Ships fast from the USA.
Rebuilding a JF016E out of a 2.5L Altima or Rogue because of a leaking case, slow engagement when cold, or a slip that showed up at high mileage starts with one box: the overhaul kit. This is a new JF016E overhaul kit listed for 2012-2020, and the photo shows it sealed in a Precision International bag. It is the soft-parts foundation of the job, the gaskets and seals that let every circuit you rebuild hold the pressure the valve body sends it.
The JF016E is a pressure-driven transmission from end to end. The primary and secondary pulleys squeeze the push belt with hydraulic force, the forward clutch and reverse brake apply by oil, and the converter clutch is fed through the same pump. Every one of those paths crosses a seal: case and pan gaskets, piston lip seals, the teflon sealing rings on the shafts and pulleys, and the O-rings at the valve body and solenoid bores. As those harden with heat and mileage, oil that should be clamping the belt or applying a pack bleeds back to the sump. In the trade, an overhaul kit is that seal and gasket set. Frictions, steels and the filter are added in larger banner and master kits, so check the label on the bag for exactly what yours contains.
Not every pressure complaint is a seal. Sonnax ties worn pump flow control and main pressure regulator valve bores in the JF016E to low pump volume, low line pressure and push belt slippage, so a valve body can mimic a leaking unit. Read our CVT failure patterns guide to tell wear failures from leak failures, and CVT harsh or delayed shifts for engagement timing checks. Once the case is open, air-check each piston and look for shiny wear tracks on the sealing ring grooves.
The kit is listed for the JF016E from 2012 to 2020. JATCO built the CVT8 family for 2.0 to 3.5 liter front-drive vehicles; the JF016E is the smaller belt unit, while the 3.5L V6 models use the chain-drive JF017E and need the JF017E overhaul kit instead. Some early and export applications used other Jatco CVTs in the same nameplates, so confirm the tag on your case reads JF016E (Nissan RE0F10D) before ordering, or send us your year, model and VIN. More parts for this family are on our CVT parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
An overhaul kit is the gasket and seal set. Frictions and steels are normally sold in banner or master kits, so check the bag label for exact contents, or add the JF016E banner rebuild kit for frictions.
It is listed for the JF016E, the 2.5L Nissan CVT, from 2012 to 2020. Confirm the tag on your transmission reads JF016E or RE0F10D, or send us your VIN to check.
No. The JF017E is a larger chain-drive CVT with different seal sizes. Use the JF017E overhaul kit for V6 Altima, Pathfinder, Murano and QX60 units.
Only if leakage is the cause. Worn valve body bores and damaged pulleys or belts also cause slip, so test pressures and inspect the belt and pulley faces during teardown.
