  15. 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. B0042DQ

      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.

  16. REMOVE TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY


    1. B0043KZC01
      *1 Torque Converter Assembly

      Remove the torque converter assembly from the continuously variable transaxle assembly.

      Note

      Remove the torque converter assembly from the input shaft horizontally.

  17. 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.


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

      SST
      09308-10010
    2. B00434WC02
      *1 CVT Oil Pump Type T Oil Seal
      *a Claw

      Using SST, remove the CVT oil pump type T oil seal from the continuously variable transaxle assembly.

      Note

      Pay attention to the angle of the claws of SST 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 may be produced if they do.
