      Note


      • Set the engine assembly with transaxle so that it is horizontal.

      • Never attach the attachment and plate lift attachment to the oil pan section of the continuously variable transaxle.

    2. A01VLR5

      Use two belt slings and a mini crane to hold the continuously variable transaxle.

      Note


      • Do not lift the engine assembly with transaxle any higher than is necessary.

      • When lifting the engine assembly with transaxle, check the location of the center of gravity while lifting it.

    3. A01VJG4

      Remove the 8 bolts and continuously variable transaxle from the engine.

      Note

      To prevent damage to the knock pins, do not pry between the transaxle and engine.

  10. REMOVE TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY


    1. A01VF4F

      Remove the torque converter assembly from the continuously variable transaxle.

      Note

      Remove the torque converter assembly from the input shaft horizontally.

  11. REMOVE CVT OIL PUMP TYPE T OIL SEAL

    Note


    • Do not remove the front oil pump assembly from the continuously variable transaxle main body, as there is the 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 malfunction, which could prevent the vehicle from running, could occur if dust or fine foreign matter enters the continuously variable transaxle.

    • Do not use cotton work gloves, cloths, or paper towels, etc. that may produce lint, etc.

    • Perform the operation as quickly as possible, as dust and foreign matter could enter the continuously variable transaxle while the torque converter assembly is not attached to it.

    • Do not use the air gun until the torque converter assembly has been installed, as it could cause dust and foreign matter to be stirred up.


    1. A01VG5GE03

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

    2. Using the SST, remove the CVT oil pump type T oil seal.

      SST
      09308-10010

      Note

      Pay attention to the angle of the claws when opening them, and ensure that they do not come into contact with the oil pump housing, as there is the possibility that metal particles could be produced if they do.
