JF017E Clutch Drum, used and ready to install. Fits the JF017E. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Nissan CVT has stopped pulling away cleanly, bangs into Drive after a long pause, or you have the case split and found a scored pump hub or a chewed-up forward clutch drum hub, this is the piece you are hunting for. The listing is titled clutch drum, but what ships is a used OEM oil pump hub with its forward clutch drum hub, pulled from a Jatco JF016E/JF017E. It is a rebuilder's hard part that does not come in any overhaul or banner kit.
The JF017E is Jatco's heavy-duty CVT8, built for the 3.5L V6 with a steel chain between the pulleys. GEARS Magazine lists it in the 2013-2018 Altima and Pathfinder, 2015-2018 Murano and Quest, and 2014-2018 Infiniti QX60. Ahead of the chain and pulleys, a planetary set picks direction with a forward clutch and a reverse brake, and the select solenoid in the valve body controls the pressure that applies them.
The pump hub is the stationary casting at the front of the unit. Its long splined neck reaches back toward the converter, and the passages in the casting route pump oil toward the converter and the clutch circuits. The forward clutch drum hub is the smaller ring that rides on that neck and feeds apply oil past its sealing ring lands into the forward clutch. When the bushing surface or ring lands wear, apply oil leaks away before it reaches the piston, and the forward clutch slips. That slip makes heat and debris that end up in the pulleys and chain.
Rule out the hydraulics first. GEARS warns that the flow control valve in the pump wears and sticks on Jatco CVTs and should be inspected on every unit, and Sonnax ties forward and reverse slip in this family to valve body bore wear. Check line pressure and the select solenoid before condemning hard parts. Our CVT harsh or delayed shifts walkthrough lays out the test order, and JATCO CVT Nissan problems and fixes shows where these units usually fail. On the bench, air-check the forward clutch and look for leakage at the ring lands.
The listing covers the JF016E and JF017E, with part references JF017E and JF018E. The JF016E is the 2.5L four-cylinder version; the JF017E is the V6 version listed above. Because there are internal running changes, match the part to yours on the bench before you order. The measurements for this part are:

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is the oil pump hub with its forward clutch drum hub, sold used. Clutch plates, seals and sealing rings are not included.
The listing covers both the JF016E and the JF017E. There were running changes, so compare the neck height, spline count and diameters on this page to your old part, or send us your year and VIN before ordering.
New sealing rings, seals and forward clutch plates from an overhaul kit, plus a careful look at the pump flow control valve. If the valve body is worn, address it in the same job.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Do not substitute a generic ATF; CVT fluid is formulated for the chain and pulley friction.
Only if the cause is a worn hub leaking forward clutch apply oil. Check line pressure, the select solenoid and the pump flow control valve first, since those cause the same symptom.
