Full overhaul kit for the Nissan RE4F03A and RL4F03A four-speed automatic: frictions, steels, gaskets, and seals to rebuild Versa, Cube, and Livina units.
Many Nissan Versas with an automatic use a CVT, but the first-generation car was also sold with a conventional four-speed, and that unit is what this kit rebuilds. If your four-speed Versa slips on the 2-3 shift, loses third or fourth once it is warm, or leaks from the pan and axle seals after years of heat cycles, this box has the soft parts and clutch material for a complete overhaul. It is manufacturer part number BL-GN02084 and covers the RE4F03A and RL4F03A four-speed as used in the Versa and its overseas twins: Tiida, Latio, Livina, Grand Livina, Geniss, Bluebird Sylphy and the Japan-market Cube.
The RE4F03 family is a compact front-drive planetary automatic. Clutch packs and a 2-4 band hold parts of the gearsets to make each ratio, and the computer controls shifting and line pressure through solenoids on the valve body. In the Versa it is paired with a small four-cylinder in a fairly heavy car, so clutch wear builds on the packs that carry the most work. The kit replaces the friction plates and steel plates in every pack, the piston and lip seals, the shaft sealing rings and O-rings, and the full gasket set. The photo shows four valve body separator gaskets in the set, so the valve body can be resealed correctly when it comes apart.
It does not include a filter, bushings, bands, hard parts or a torque converter. Inspect those during the teardown and add what you need.
A hard, banging 1-2 shift is usually not a rebuild. Transmission Digest's ATSG column ties it on the RE4F03/4B to uncontrolled line pressure, often with P0745 stored, and sometimes to a loose ground eyelet on the pressure control solenoid.
Read codes first. A pressure control or shift solenoid code with clean fluid points at our Versa RE4F03A solenoid assembly, not a teardown, and our solenoid multimeter test shows how to check them at the connector. If the fluid is burnt and the slip follows one shift, the packs are worn; our slipping diagnosis guide walks through it, and the rebuild versus replacement cost guide helps decide whether a rebuild makes sense on a high-mileage Versa.
The listing names the Versa from 2007 through 2013, the Japan-market Cube and Cubic through 2009, and the Livina, Geniss, Grand Livina, Latio and Bluebird Sylphy through 2013. Two warnings. First, the Cube sold in North America from 2009 used a CVT or a manual, not this four-speed. Second, any Versa with a CVT will not take this kit. A quick check is the fluid: Nissan's 2011 Versa owner's manual specifies Matic S for the conventional automatic and NS-2 for the CVT. Confirm the RE4F03A, RE4F03B or RL4F03A stamp on the case before ordering, or send your year and VIN. For older Sentra and 200SX cars, see our Sentra and 200SX master kit.

No. It is for the conventional four-speed automatic only. Nissan's 2011 Versa owner's manual lists Matic S fluid for the four-speed and NS-2 for the CVT, which is a quick way to tell which one you have.
No. The Cube sold in North America from 2009 used a CVT or a manual. The Cube and Cubic named in the listing are earlier Japan-market cars that had the four-speed.
No. The kit is frictions, steels, gaskets including valve body separator gaskets, seals, sealing rings and O-rings. Buy the filter, bushings and any band separately after the teardown.
Nissan Matic S ATF, with Matic D listed by Nissan as the alternate for the 2011 Versa four-speed. Check the level with the fluid hot.
Often not. A hard 1-2 shift on this family is commonly uncontrolled line pressure from the pressure control solenoid or a loose ground eyelet. Check codes and wiring before buying a full kit.
