REMOVE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
The continuously variable transaxle assembly is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the transmission jack may suddenly drop or a part may fall.
| *a | Object Exceeding Weight Limit of Transmission Jack |
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.

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.
