Remanufactured JF015E (RE0F11A) CVT valve body with solenoids installed, for 2013-2019 Nissan Sentra 1.8L and Versa 1.6L shudder and slip faults.
This is the early-layout JF015E valve body - the version with exposed solenoid coils across the top and a white multi-pin harness connector - remanufactured with the shift, line pressure, lockup and select solenoids already mounted and wired. It is built for the 2013-2019 Nissan Sentra 1.8L and 2013-2019 Versa and Versa Note 1.6L, which use the Jatco JF015E CVT that Nissan calls the RE0F11A, or CVT7.
The RE0F11A pairs a sub-gearbox with a pulley-and-belt CVT, and the valve body is what makes that combination drivable. It routes line pressure through precision bores and spool valves to apply the sub-gearbox clutches and set pulley ratio, and it carries the solenoids the TCU pulses to time every shift and every torque converter lockup event. Sonnax's own parts catalog for this unit documents a known lockup and lube pressure regulator wear pattern on the JF015E/RE0F11A that produces stall on engagement, no lockup, and RPM flare under load - the same hydraulic control problem a complete valve body swap addresses at once.
Worn pressure regulator bores and tired solenoids let line pressure drop under load, which on this transmission reads as belt slip even when the belt and pulleys have not been damaged. If the fluid is clean and the car has no history of belt or pulley wear, the valve body is the hydraulic-side repair that fixes this without touching the rest of the transmission.
Check the top of your old valve body before ordering: this listing is the version with exposed solenoid coils and a white connector. If yours has a fully covered solenoid pack instead, you have the later revision - see our later-style JF015E valve body, which is not interchangeable with this one. Our JF015E valve body and filter kit bundles the matching filter if you have not sourced one yet.
Built for the 2013-2019 Nissan Sentra 1.8L and 2013-2019 Nissan Versa and Versa Note 1.6L, crossing to Nissan part numbers 31705-X427D, 31705-X427E, 31705-X428B, 31705-X428C and 31705-X428E. If your Sentra or Versa falls outside this window, compare the connector and solenoid layout on your original unit against the photos, or send your year, make, model and VIN so we can confirm fit before you order. Our complete JF015E valve body with solenoids covers the same vehicles with the solenoid pack pre-calibrated to the assembly if you would rather not match connectors yourself.
Drain the CVT, drop the pan, unplug the harness at the case connector, and unbolt the old valve body. Reuse your original round harness plug rather than an aftermarket one - it seals better against the case. Torque the valve body bolts evenly in a cross pattern, refill with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid, and check the level at the specified temperature. Pair the swap with a JF015E oil pump assembly if your fluid showed signs of cavitation or low pressure before the repair, then clear codes and run the CVT learn procedure with a scan tool capable of Nissan CVT functions so the TCM adapts to the new unit before you judge the shift feel.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Check the top of your old unit. This listing is the earlier layout with exposed solenoid coils and a white multi-pin connector. A fully covered solenoid pack is the later revision and is not interchangeable with this one.
Shudder on light acceleration, slipping or a flare when pulling away from a stop, a delayed engagement into Drive, and limp mode with codes such as P0746, P0776 or P17F0.
The 2013-2019 Nissan Sentra 1.8L and 2013-2019 Nissan Versa and Versa Note 1.6L, crossing to OE numbers 31705-X427D, 31705-X427E, 31705-X428B, 31705-X428C and 31705-X428E.
Yes - the shift, line pressure, lockup and select solenoids are already mounted and wired into the harness before it ships.
Yes. Reuse the original round harness plug from your old valve body rather than an aftermarket one; it seals better against the case.
Refill with Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid, check the level at the specified temperature, clear codes, and run the CVT learn procedure with a scan tool that supports Nissan CVT functions before judging the shift feel.
