Technical issues and repair guidelines
The valve body of the CVT8 unit has a reduced number of valves. The torque converter lock-up zone was expanded,allowing to improve acceleration and fuel saving characteristics, but on the other side the lock-up clutch wear-out leads to rapid contamination and necessity to repair the torque converter.
Repair procedures
During the first years after release of the series, Jatco engineers adjusted the TCM settings in such a way that they allowed loading of CVT components to the limit to attract potential buyers with enhanced acceleration dynamics. Therefore, the valve body replacement may occur during the warranty period. The design of JF016E components is very similar to the JF011E unit. Thus, it is expected that this CVT will be “invincible” on vehicles with engines up to 2.4 liters and that CVT on Nissan Murano with 3.5 liter engine will frequently appear in repair services.
During the first years of operation, repair specialists have to replace the oil filter-cartridge. This filter-cartridge is installed in the heat exchanger and maintains the "right" fluid level in the pan. Cone bearings are considered to be another vulnerable place in this CVT as in its predecessor. Bearings for the next JF017E modification were significantly improved. Problems may occur with the pump JF016E- 017E, which has fewer components in comparison with JF011, but operates as intensive as its predecessor. This CVT is also sensitive to contaminated and overheated transmission fluid.
