JF017E JF016E RE0F10E CVT8 Master Rebuild Kit Nissan

The JF017E and its smaller sibling JF016E are Nissan's second-generation CVT8, the steel push-belt transaxle that sits behind the 3.5L V6 and 2.5L four across the Nissan and Infiniti lineup. When one of these units starts to shudder on light throttle, slip under load, or throw a P17F0/P17F1 belt-slip code, the fix is a full teardown and rebuild, and this kit is the soft-parts and clutch package that gets it back together. It carries the forward and reverse clutch friction plates, the matching steel plates, and the complete run of gaskets, lip seals, O-rings and sealing rings the case needs to hold line pressure again.

This kit covers the JF017E / RE0F10E and JF016E / RE0F10D CVT8 family. Common applications include the 2013-up Pathfinder 3.5L V6, 2015-up Murano 3.5L V6, Infiniti QX60 and JX35 3.5L V6, Quest 3.5L V6, and the 2016-up Maxima 3.5L V6 on the RE0F10E side, plus the 2.5L Altima, Sentra and Rogue applications that ran the RE0F10D. These transmissions share the same basic pulley-and-belt architecture, so match the transmission code stamped on your unit to the JF016E/JF017E/RE0F10E numbers before you order rather than going by model year alone.

On the bench this goes in during a full CVT overhaul: strip the unit, inspect the variator pulleys and the steel belt for scoring, then reclutch the forward and reverse packs with the new frictions and steels and reseal every joint with the fresh gaskets and rings. Pair it with a new CVT filter and the correct NS-3 fluid on reassembly. It is the repair path that saves a slipping CVT8 from a replacement transaxle that costs several times what a rebuild does.
