REMOVE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
1. Using a transmission jack attachment, set the continuously variable transaxle assembly on a transmission jack.
  Note:
  - Secure the continuously variable transaxle assembly to the transmission jack using a suitable adapter, such as a rope or attachment.
  - To prevent the transaxle oil (CVT) pan sub-assembly from deforming, do not place any attachments under the transaxle oil (CVT) pan sub-assembly.
  - Hold the engine assembly with a suitable adapter, such as a rope, during the operation.
2. Remove the 7 bolts and continuously variable transaxle assembly from the engine assembly.
  
  Note:
  To prevent damage to the 2 knock pins, do not pry between the continuously variable transaxle assembly and engine assembly.
REMOVE TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY

REMOVE CVT OIL PUMP TYPE T OIL SEAL

CAUTION:

Do not remove the front oil pump assembly from the continuously variable transaxle assembly main body, as there is a possibility of the entry of dust and foreign matter.
Clean the work area, the tools to be used, and other equipment, etc. thoroughly before the operation, as there is the possibility that a continuously variable transaxle assembly malfunction, which may prevent the vehicle from being driven, may occur if dust or fine foreign matter enters the continuously variable transaxle assembly.
Do not use cotton work gloves, cloths, paper towels, etc. that may produce lint, dust or foreign matter.
Perform the operation as quickly as possible, as dust and foreign matter may enter the continuously variable transaxle assembly while the torque converter assembly is not attached to it.
Do not use an air gun until the torque converter assembly has been installed, as it may cause dust and foreign matter to be stirred up.

Clean the tips of both the claws of SST and center bolt.
