JF016E Valve Body, new and ready to install. Fits the JF016E. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 4-cylinder Nissan Altima or Rogue is shifting harsh, slipping between ratios, hesitating before it engages, or has thrown a pressure or solenoid code, the valve body is the usual suspect on the JF016E CVT once fluid level and condition have been checked. The JF016E is the 4-cylinder half of Nissan's second-generation CVT family, built as RE0F10D, and it wears differently from the V6 JF017E it shares a design lineage with.
The JF016E valve body is the hydraulic brain of the unit. Pump pressure enters the valve body and gets routed through precision-machined bores and spool valves that clamp the belt against the primary and secondary pulleys and apply the torque converter clutch. On this electronically controlled CVT, the valve body also carries the shift and pressure control solenoids the TCM fires to manage ratio changes and lock-up, so a worn bore or a tired solenoid shows up immediately as a driveability complaint rather than a slow leak you can ignore.
Start with a fluid check: wrong or badly degraded fluid produces nearly identical symptoms to a worn valve body on this CVT family, and replacing a $570 part will not fix a fluid problem. If the fluid is correct and recently serviced, a line pressure test and a scan for stored solenoid or ratio codes will tell you whether the fault is hydraulic (valve body) or mechanical (belt and pulley wear, which is the other common JF016E failure). Shudder under load that does not change with fluid condition points more toward the belt and pulleys than the valve body.
This valve body fits the JF016E as built into the 4-cylinder Nissan Altima and Rogue starting with the 2013 model year. Nissan revised this CVT across its production run, so match the casting marks and connector count on your old valve body against the replacement, or send us your year, make, model, and VIN and we will confirm the correct version before it ships. This is not the same part as the JF017E valve body used behind the V6 in the Pathfinder, Murano, Maxima, and Infiniti QX60 - the two transmissions share a family design but are not interchangeable.
Drop the pan and look at the fluid before you pull the old valve body. Dark, metallic, or badly burnt fluid points to pump or pulley wear beyond the valve body itself and changes what else needs attention while the unit is open. Transfer the internal wiring harness to the new valve body, torque the bolts down in the manufacturer's sequence rather than a spiral pattern to avoid introducing a new leak, and refill with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid - the wrong fluid is a direct contributor to the pressure problems this part fixes. Run the TCM adaptive relearn and a full drive cycle before considering the job finished. If your old solenoids are original-mileage, pair this valve body with a fresh JF016E solenoid kit rather than reusing worn solenoids on a new valve body, and check the JF016E oil pump if your pressure test showed low base line pressure. For a car with higher mileage and multiple symptoms at once, a full JF016E overhaul kit is usually the more cost-effective route than replacing parts one at a time. If you are not sure whether your car has the 4-cylinder JF016E or the V6 JF017E, compare against the JF017E valve body listing before ordering.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The V6 Pathfinder, Murano, Maxima, and Infiniti QX60 use the JF017E (RE0F10E), a related but separate transmission with its own valve body. This listing is for the JF016E (RE0F10D) built behind the 4-cylinder engine in the Altima and Rogue.
New. If you need the remanufactured version for a specific model year range, see the 2014-2018 or 2017-2019 JF016E valve body listings.
Harsh or flared shifts, slipping or flat-spotting under acceleration, torque converter shudder at steady highway speed, and delayed engagement into Drive are the most common early signs on the JF016E.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Running the wrong fluid or skipping scheduled fluid changes is a major contributor to the pressure-related failures this valve body addresses.
Not automatically, but if your solenoids are original-mileage or your line pressure test showed low base pressure, replacing the solenoid kit or oil pump alongside the valve body avoids reusing a worn part on a fresh one.
