RE4F04A Clutch Module 1992-1994, new and ready to install. Fits the RE4F04A. Ships fast from the USA.
This friction kit is for the first-generation RE4F04A in the 1992-1994 Maxima and the 1993-1994 Altima, Quest and Mercury Villager. If your early Nissan slips in 3rd, revs up between gears or has black fluid that smells burnt, worn clutch facings are the usual cause, and this kit holds the friction plates to re-face the packs during a rebuild.
The RE4F04A, Jatco's large-case front-drive four-speed, gets each gear by applying a mix of clutch packs and a band. On these early units, shift timing comes from the shift solenoids, the converter clutch is on-off, and line pressure from the EPC solenoid. Every apply depends on friction facings that keep their thickness. As they wear, the gap in the pack opens up, the clutch takes longer to grip, and heat builds with each shift until it slips under throttle.
By now an early unit has decades of heat cycles behind it. The direct (3rd) clutch takes the worst of it: TransGo lists inner seal leaks on that piston, no 3rd after a kickdown, and drum blowouts and planet failures caused by runaway line pressure on these A-model units.
Check fluid level and condition first, then put a gauge on the line pressure tap. High or erratic pressure points to the EPC solenoid or valve body and will burn a fresh set of plates if you skip it. Low pressure can be a worn pump. The line pressure guide shows the hookup, and the slipping diagnosis guide narrows down which pack is going.
Listed for early RE4F04A units built from 1992 to 1994. TransGo groups these with the A-model RE4F04A (the version where the solenoid wires pass out through the case), used in the Maxima, Altima, Quest and Mercury Villager. Nissan changed the unit during the 1994 model year, so 1994 vehicles can have either the early or late version. The late version is sold separately as our 1994-up kit. If you have a 1994, compare your old frictions or send us your year and VIN before ordering. The photo shows typical frictions for this transmission and may not match your exact plates. Steels, seals and gaskets are not included. The RE4F04A overhaul kit for 1991-2003 supplies the gaskets, seals, O-rings and sealing rings for the same teardown.
Clean the cooler and lines before the first drive. Old friction dust left in the cooler goes straight back into the new clutches.

The early RE4F04A was used in the 1992-1994 Nissan Maxima and the 1993-1994 Altima, Quest and Mercury Villager. Confirm with your year and VIN, since 1994 units can be early or late.
Nissan changed the unit during the 1994 model year. The easiest checks are your VIN or comparing the frictions you remove. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN before ordering.
No. It is a friction kit. Pair it with the 1991-2003 overhaul seal and gasket kit, and replace any steels that are blued or warped.
Yes. TransGo advises a new EPC solenoid on every overhaul because runaway line pressure from a failing solenoid can blow out the direct drum and planets.
Check line pressure, pump wear, the direct clutch drum for cracks, and the band adjustment. Flush the cooler so old debris does not return to the new clutches.
