JF016E Shift Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the JF016E. Ships fast from the USA.
This page is listed as a JF016E shift kit, but the part in the photo is a new set of valve body controls for the Jatco CVT8: five solenoids and two pressure sensors, seven pieces in all. That is the right buy if your 2.5L four-cylinder Nissan Altima or second-generation Rogue keeps throwing pressure or solenoid codes, drops into limp mode, or bangs into Drive, and the fluid itself still looks clean. A continuously variable transmission has no shift valves for a traditional shift kit to recalibrate, so on this unit the electrical controls are what decide how it drives.
Nissan calls the JF016E the RE0F10D. It is the belt-driven, four-cylinder member of the CVT8 family, and Sonnax publishes a single valve body layout covering it and the V6 JF017E. GEARS Magazine explains that this generation dropped the stepper motor of the older JF011E. Ratio is no longer set mechanically; the TCM sets it with pressure. Three linear solenoids of one design control line pressure plus the oil sent to the primary and secondary pulleys, a separate select solenoid applies the forward clutch and reverse brake, and a pulse-width solenoid controls torque converter lockup slip. Two pressure sensors on top of the valve body report what the pulleys are actually getting. When one solenoid sticks, the belt loses clamp or the ratio wanders, and the TCM protects the transmission by limiting power.
Start with a scan of the TCM and write down which circuit each code names. GEARS lists 5.5 to 8.5 ohms for these solenoids and 6.1 to 7.7 ohms for the TCC solenoid, so measure at the valve body connector before blaming a part. Look at the fluid too: Nissan bulletin NTB15-084b separates P17F0, which points to belt and pulley damage, from P17F1, which points to the controls, on the 2013-2016 Altima four-cylinder and 2014-2016 Rogue. If the fluid is dark and the pan magnet is coated in metal, new solenoids will not save it. Our CVT limp mode guide covers the code side, and the Jatco CVT problems and fixes guide explains when a Nissan CVT needs more than controls.
The listing names the JF016E with the JF017E as a cross reference, and does not give a year range. Inside the CVT8 family the solenoid style is shared, but pressure sensor colors and valve body calibrations changed over time. GEARS warns to keep the same color sensor unless the valve body has been programmed for a different one. Before ordering, set your old parts next to the photo and compare connector shapes, the tabbed solenoid and both sensor colors, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. For a used set dated to 2013-2014, see the JF016E 2013-2014 solenoid set. Every CVT8 part we carry is on the CVT parts page.
Drain the fluid and remove the pan and strainer to reach the valve body. Tag each connector before unplugging it, then swap one part at a time so nothing ends up in the wrong bore. Lubricate the new O-rings with clean fluid. Refill only with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid and set the level with the temperature-based check in the service manual; a generic ATF will cause slip. Clear codes and drive with a scan tool connected to watch pulley pressure. If the inspection turns up worn bores, solenoids alone will not hold pressure and a JF016E valve body is the better fix. If you only want new solenoids at a lower cost, compare this set with our 7-piece CVT8 solenoid kit before you order.

No. The photo shows a new set of seven valve body electrical parts: five solenoids and two pressure sensors. A CVT has no shift valves, so no traditional shift kit exists for the JF016E.
The JF016E (RE0F10D) is the four-cylinder CVT8, found behind the 2.5L in the Altima from 2013 and the redesigned Rogue from 2014. The 2013 Rogue and the Rogue Select use the older JF011E, which takes different parts.
Only if the cause is in the controls. Nissan's bulletin ties P17F1 to the control side and P17F0 to the belt and pulleys. Judder with P17F0 and metal in the pan needs mechanical repair.
Not always. If one circuit is named, test that solenoid and its wiring first. Many owners replace the full set when several pressure codes are stored or the old parts are heat-darkened.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid, with the level set using the service manual procedure at the correct fluid temperature. Do not use conventional ATF.
Clear the codes and road test while watching pressure data. Keep the original pressure sensor colors in place so the calibration matches; if the shop manual for your car calls for a learn procedure, follow it.
