About this product

By the 2013 model year the RE0F10A, which Jatco catalogs as the JF011E, was a mature transmission with six seasons of production behind it, and the cars still running it were collecting the mileage where the valve body starts to leak pressure. If your 2013 Nissan Rogue, Jeep Compass or Patriot with the CVT, or Mitsubishi Lancer or Outlander Sport is chattering on acceleration, flaring the RPM without pulling, or taking a long pause before it engages Drive, this remanufactured RE0F10A valve body is the hydraulic unit that controls all of those behaviors.

What the valve body does in a 2013 RE0F10A

The RE0F10A has no planetary gearsets doing the ratio work. A steel push belt runs between a primary and a secondary pulley, and the valve body decides how hard each pulley squeezes that belt. The secondary pressure regulator sets the clamping force that keeps the belt from slipping under torque, the primary circuit moves the drive pulley to change ratio, a converter pressure regulator handles lockup, and the manual valve feeds the forward clutch and reverse brake when you select a gear. The transmission computer commands it through solenoids and a step motor, but it is the spool valves in the aluminum castings that actually build the pressure. When those bores wear, the computer keeps asking for a ratio the hydraulics cannot hold.

Symptoms that trace back to this valve body

Sonnax ties each of those complaints to a specific worn valve in its vacuum test guide for this unit, which is why a valve body replacement is a real repair on this transmission rather than a guess.

How to confirm it before you order

Scan the computer first and note every code. Check the fluid level and condition with the engine at operating temperature, because a low fill causes slip on its own. Then pull the pan. A clean magnet with fine gray paste is normal wear; chunks, bright flakes or bearing pieces mean the pulleys or bearings are failing and a valve body alone will not last. If the pan is clean and the complaint matches the list above, a vacuum test at the valve body wear points will confirm it. Our CVT slipping under load guide walks through separating belt slip from pressure loss, and Jatco CVT problems and fixes covers what typically fails alongside it.

Fitment for 2013

This listing is a 2013 RE0F10A (JF011E) valve body. The same transmission was sold under Chrysler and Mitsubishi names in Compass, Patriot, Lancer and Outlander Sport models, so read the tag on the transmission case rather than going by the vehicle badge. Several Nissan models were redesigned around 2013 and moved to newer Jatco CVTs, the 2013 Altima sedan and Sentra among them, so those cars will not take this part unless your case tag reads RE0F10A or JF011E. Calibration also changed during the run. Compare the casting, connector and solenoid layout with your old unit, or send us the year, model and VIN and we will confirm it before it ships. The full range of parts for this family is in our CVT transmission collection.

Install notes

Unplug the ROM and the main internal harness connector and move the harness aside before lifting the valve body. Remove the filter and filter bracket, then slide a 3 mm rod through the access hole next to the bracket to hold the pulley-ratio lever and keep the spring-loaded ratio-control valve in place. The valve body is held by 11 bolts: the short one by the manual valve and ten longer ones around the outside. Keep the original ROM with the car, because a mismatched ROM sets a calibration code. Install a new filter and pan gasket kit on the same job, refill with Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid (or the CVT fluid the vehicle maker specifies for Jeep and Mitsubishi versions), and run the adaptive relearn. If your codes pointed to an electrical fault rather than pressure, test the solenoids before blaming the castings; the RE0F10A solenoid kit covers the electrical side.

RE0F10A Valve Body 2013: common questions

Will this valve body fit a 2013 Nissan Altima sedan?

Most likely not. The 2013 Altima sedan was redesigned with a newer Jatco CVT. Read the tag on your transmission case; this part is for units tagged RE0F10A or JF011E.

Does a Jeep Compass or Patriot CVT use the same valve body?

The Compass and Patriot CVT is the same Jatco JF011E design. Calibration can differ by vehicle, so match the casting and connector or send your VIN and we will confirm fitment.

Do I have to swap the ROM from my old valve body?

Keep the original ROM with the vehicle. It is calibrated to match the transmission computer, and a different ROM causes a calibration mismatch code that needs reprogramming to clear.

What fluid does it need after the install?

Nissan RE0F10A units take Nissan NS-2 CVT fluid. Jeep and Mitsubishi versions should use the CVT fluid named in their owner manuals. Do not use conventional ATF.

Will a new valve body fix a CVT that whines and has metal in the pan?

Usually not on its own. Heavy metal or bearing debris points to pulley or bearing wear, and that debris will damage a new valve body. Fix the mechanical failure first.
