JF016E Valve Body 2014-2018, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the JF016E. Ships fast from the USA.
A JF016E CVT that shifts harsh, slips between engagement and acceleration, or hangs before it drops into gear is almost always a valve body problem rather than a belt or pulley problem, and this remanufactured valve body covers the 2014-2018 build run of that transmission. Nissan put the JF016E behind the Altima, Rogue, Pathfinder, Murano, Maxima and Infiniti QX60 through this period, and this is a bench-ready, remanufactured unit backed by a 1-year warranty rather than a used pull.
There is no fixed gear set in a CVT for a valve to simply lock into. Instead the valve body is the hydraulic control center that reads commands from the TCM and routes regulated line pressure to the primary and secondary pulley actuators and the forward and lockup clutches, so the transmission can hold any ratio across its range rather than stepping through a handful of gears. The solenoids and control bores inside the valve body are what make that continuous adjustment possible. Once those bores wear or a solenoid screen loads up with debris, the pressure signal the TCM is commanding no longer matches what the pulleys actually receive, and shift quality degrades from there.
Pull the stored codes and note whether the symptom shows up consistently or only under specific conditions like a cold start or hard acceleration - a consistent pattern across driving conditions points more strongly at the valve body than at the belt and pulleys. Check the fluid condition and filter screen first, since a plugged screen or fluid loaded with clutch debris can mimic a valve body fault; if the fluid is clean and the codes still point to pressure or solenoid faults, the valve body is the next part worth replacing.
This valve body is built for the JF016E as installed from 2014 through 2018. Jatco and Nissan revised the casting and connector layout more than once across the JF016E's production run, and this listing does not specify a single OE replacement number, so match the casting number and connector count on your own old valve body against the listing photos before ordering, or send your year, make, model and VIN so we can confirm fit. If you already know your vehicle falls in an earlier or narrower window, we also stock the 2012-2014 assembly and the 2013-2017 Altima and Rogue assembly, along with the rest of the lineup on our CVT parts collection.
Drop the pan and pull the filter before removing the valve body, and photograph the harness connector routing so it goes back exactly the same way. Torque the valve body bolts to factory spec in the sequence called out in the service manual rather than tightening corner to corner, and refill with genuine Nissan NS-2 or NS-3 CVT fluid matched to your model year. Run the TCM's adaptive relearn procedure with a scan tool before the road test, and if the fluid showed heavy clutch material, pair this with our JF016E shift kit or CVT filter to cover the rest of what usually needs attention at the same time.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Remanufactured and bench-ready, backed by a 1-year warranty.
The JF016E CVT as used from 2014 through 2018, which spans Altima, Rogue, Pathfinder, Murano, Maxima and Infiniti QX60 depending on the specific model year. Confirm your casting against your old part or send your VIN, since Jatco revised the casting more than once in this window.
The JF016E's casting and connector layout changed more than once across 2014-2018, so match the casting number and connector count on your old valve body against the listing photos, or send your year, make, model and VIN before ordering.
Harsh or slipping shifts, delayed engagement into Drive or Reverse, a transmission that hunts and will not settle on a steady ratio, and stored pressure-control or solenoid codes.
Genuine Nissan NS-2 or NS-3 CVT fluid matched to your model year, and run the TCM's adaptive relearn procedure with a scan tool before the road test.
Check the filter and fluid for clutch material. If it is present, a shift kit or full filter change at the same time saves a second teardown.
