GENERAL INFORMATION
Precautions when Disassembling a CVT Assembly
Transmissions are vulnerable to particles (dust, metal, lint, etc.).
When disassembling a CVT, make sure your work environment (shop, workbench, etc.),
transmission area (sub-frame, oil pan, harness connector, etc.), and your hands are free of
contamination.
IMPORTANT:

Wash and clean the exterior of the CVT assembly prior to disassembling.
CAUTION: Cover all air breather and drive shaft holes to prevent water intrusion.

Refrigerating oil seals may help in assembly (axle and T/C seals).

Only disassemble those parts which are mentioned in this bulletin.

Make sure all parts are clean prior to assembling / installing.

Apply rust penetrant to locator / dowel pins on torque converter housing and side
cover of CVT and allow to soak as needed (Figure 1).
Dowel pin
locations
Figure 1

Unpack service parts just before
installation.

To aid with organization, store related
parts that have been removed
separately.
IMPORTANT: The CVT unit “wiring harness
connector” will be reused during this
procedure. The wiring harness can be
disconnected from the valve body at the
wiring harness connector and remain in the
CVT.

CVT Chain Inspection
1. Secure the right front tire with a suitable strap.
2. Mark the left front tire with a suitable marking.

This will assure all 360° of the chain is
inspected.
3. Using borescope J-51951 with mirror attachment,
visually inspect the entirety of the two sides of the
chain that come in contact with the pulleys:
Figure 4
a. First inspect the entirety (360°) of the driver side of the chain that comes in contact
with the pulley (see page 11, Figure 8 and 9, and page 12, Figure 11).
b. If the inspection result is OK on all 360°, inspect all 360° of the passenger side of the
chain.
IMPORTANT:
 Reference the pictures on page 13-15 for chain image comparison.
 Be sure to remove the protective film from the mirror before the first use.
 Clean the camera lens and mirror before each inspection. Use 90% isopropyl
alcohol, and a lens swab from the Lens Swab packet J-51963 listed in PARTS.
 Before inspecting, make sure the camera handle’s AA batteries are fresh and the
LCD monitor’s battery is charged.
 Insert the camera lens behind the pulley between the guide rail and the pulley where
shown in Figure 5 (also see page 10-11, Figure 6-9).
 Insert the lens approximately 8-9 inches, and then view the side of the chain that


If the primary and the secondary pulley bearings do not align properly with their
bores (Figure 28E) or are at an angle, a gap of 18 mm (0.7 inches) may be
present.

Possible areas of interference are highlighted with orange and tan in Figure 28E.
 As needed, level the sub-assembly as it is lowered into the CVT case to help the
primary and the secondary pulley bearings align in their bores.
 MINOR LEVELING ADJUSTMENTS with limited weight on the sub-assembly will
help the installation. Vertical force is not needed.
 Once the sub-assembly is LEVEL the primary and the secondary pulley bearings
will smoothly align while lowering.
Sub-assembly will not lower past 18 mm (0.7 inches)?

If this occurs Do NOT force sub-assembly into case.
a. Raise the sub-assembly slightly.
b. Level the sub-assembly (visually check the gap between case and sub-assembly
side cover and confirm that it is even all around).
