    Note


    • Do not remove the front oil pump assembly from the CVT 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 CVT malfunction, which could prevent the vehicle from running, could occur if dust or fine foreign matter enters the CVT.

    • 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 CVT while the torque convertor is not attached to it.

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