JF017E Banner Rebuild Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the JF017E. Ships fast from the USA.
This banner rebuild kit is for the Jatco JF017E, the heavy-duty CVT that Nissan calls the RE0F10E and bolts behind the 3.5L V6. If your Altima 3.5, Pathfinder, Murano, Quest or Infiniti QX60 is slow to pull into Drive or Reverse, flares on takeoff, or has dark, burnt fluid, and the unit is coming out for an overhaul, this is the soft-parts package that goes back in. The kit is listed for 2012-up JF017E units, and the photos show an overhaul gasket and seal set packaged together with a friction clutch pack.
The JF017E is not a belt CVT like the four-cylinder units. GEARS Magazine points out that it drives through a chain running between the primary and secondary pulleys, and that Jatco dropped the stepper motor used on the older JF011E. Ahead of the pulleys sits a small planetary set with two clutch packs: the forward clutch for Drive and the reverse brake for Reverse. A single select solenoid in the valve body controls the apply pressure for both, while separate linear solenoids hold clamping pressure on each pulley. Every one of those circuits depends on lip seals, sealing rings and gaskets holding pressure. When the seals harden and the frictions glaze, the select circuit cannot clamp the packs firmly and the car engages late or slips. A banner kit replaces the gaskets, seals and friction plates in one box, which is the core of a standard overhaul at a lower price than a master kit.
A CVT can engage late for reasons that have nothing to do with the clutch packs, so test before you tear down. Check the fluid level hot and read codes first. Sonnax ties delayed engagement, low pump volume and slippage in this family to wear in the pump flow control valve, and pulley chatter and slip to worn primary and secondary pulley reducing valves, and GEARS says the flow control valve should be inspected on every Jatco CVT that comes apart. Swapped primary and secondary speed sensor connectors can also set pressure and ratio codes. Our CVT harsh and delayed shift guide walks through those checks, and the Jatco CVT problems and fixes guide covers the Nissan-specific failures. If the magnet is covered in steel, the chain or pulleys are damaged and a banner kit alone will not save the unit.
The listing names the JF017E (RE0F10E) for 2012 and later. GEARS lists the JF017E in the 2013-18 Altima 3.5L, 2013-18 Pathfinder, 2015-18 Murano, 2015-18 Quest and 2014-18 Infiniti QX60. Nissan also uses other RE0F10 suffixes for later versions, and the four-cylinder JF016E (RE0F10D) is a smaller unit that this kit does not fit. Before you order, check the tag on your case, compare your old seals and gaskets with the photos, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm it. You can see the rest of our parts for these units on the CVT transmission parts page.
For a deeper rebuild that also replaces steels and other hard parts, compare the JF017E master rebuild kit.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The 2.5L four-cylinder models use the JF016E (RE0F10D), which is a smaller unit with different seals and clutch packs. This kit is for the 3.5L JF017E (RE0F10E).
A banner kit pairs an overhaul gasket and seal set with new friction plates. Steel plates and pistons are not part of it, so reuse those only if they pass inspection or order them separately.
Usually not. Whine and cruise-speed chatter on the JF017E normally come from chain, pulley or bearing wear, or from worn pulley pressure valves in the valve body. This kit addresses slipping and delayed engagement caused by worn clutches and leaking seals.
Use Nissan CVT Fluid NS-3. Set the level with the fluid at operating temperature, then clear codes and run the CVT relearn before road testing.
Check the identification tag on the transmission case for JF017E or the RE0F10E code. If you cannot read it, send us your year and VIN and we will confirm fitment before the kit ships.
