JF017E Shift Kit 2013-2014, used and ready to install. Fits the JF017E. Ships fast from the USA.
Owners of a 2013 or 2014 Nissan Altima 3.5, Pathfinder or Infiniti JX35 and QX60 searching for JF017E solenoids will find this listing under a shift kit title, so here is plainly what it is. The part is a used set of seven valve body controls, four linear solenoids, one solenoid with a mounting tab and two pressure sensors, identified by its previous owner as fitting the JF016E and JF017E. Read the source carefully, though: the set was removed from a 2.5L Rogue, and the 2.5L Rogue uses the JF016E, not the V6 JF017E. The two transmissions belong to the same Jatco CVT8 family and share a control valve design, but you should confirm a match on your own unit before you order.
The JF017E, Nissan's RE0F10E, is the heavy-duty CVT8 built for the 3.5L V6, and GEARS Magazine notes it uses a chain where the 4-cylinder version uses a belt. Jatco dropped the stepper motor used on the older JF011E; ratio is now controlled entirely by pressure. Three linear solenoids of the same design set line pressure and the pressure feeding the primary and secondary pulleys, a select solenoid handles forward and reverse engagement, and a pulse-width TCC solenoid controls converter lockup slip. Two pressure sensors on top of the valve body report actual pulley pressure. On a V6 that is moving a three-row Pathfinder or QX60, any lost pressure shows up quickly as chain slip and ratio codes.
Pull codes from the TCM and write down the exact circuit named. Measure the solenoid resistance at the valve body connector; GEARS lists 5.5 to 8.5 ohms for these solenoids and 6.1 to 7.7 ohms for the TCC solenoid. On the 2013 JX35 and the QX60, Nissan's judder bulletin applies when P17F0 or P17F1 is stored, and P17F0 sends you to the chain and pulleys instead of the controls. Our CVT slipping under load guide covers the V6 slip complaints, and the converter clutch shudder guide helps when lockup is the problem.
GEARS places the JF017E in the 2013-2018 Altima and Pathfinder, the 2015-2018 Murano and Quest and the 2014-2018 QX60, all with the 3.5L. This listing covers 2013-2014 only. Because the set came out of a JF016E, it is up to the connector check to prove the fit: compare the solenoid bodies, the connector shapes and the two pressure sensor colors against the photo and your own valve body, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. If you would rather have parts specifically sold for your V6, the JF017E pressure control solenoid is listed on its own, and every CVT8 part we stock is on the CVT transmission parts page.
Drain the fluid and remove the pan to reach the valve body. Mark each connector before removal, since several look alike. Keep the original pressure sensor color unless the valve body has been programmed for a different sensor. Replace the O-rings on every part you install, clean the pan and magnets, and refill with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid, checking level by the service manual procedure. Clear codes and road test with a scan tool connected so you can watch pulley pressure. If the inspection shows worn bores or burnt fluid, replace the JF017E valve body instead, or plan a full rebuild.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a used set of seven valve body controls, five solenoids and two pressure sensors. CVTs have no shift valves, so there is no traditional shift kit for this transmission.
The set was pulled from a 2.5L Nissan Rogue, which uses the JF016E. Its previous owner listed it for both JF016E and JF017E, so compare connectors, solenoid bodies and sensor colors with your own unit or send us your VIN first.
The 3.5L V6 Altima and Pathfinder from 2013, the Murano and Quest from 2015 and the Infiniti QX60 from 2014. This listing is for the 2013-2014 portion of that run.
Measure resistance at the valve body connector. GEARS Magazine lists 5.5 to 8.5 ohms for the CVT8 solenoids and 6.1 to 7.7 ohms for the TCC solenoid. Also check the harness for heat damage.
Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Set the level with the procedure in the service manual rather than by guessing at the dipstick.
