IMPORTANT: Repairs performed for this bulletin require CONSULT-III plus diagnostic
result reporting function-setting to be ON and Diagnosis (All Systems) to be performed. If
not done, it may result in a repair being non-warrantable.
E.
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.
To avoid damage to the CVT:



Wash and clean the exterior of the CVT assembly prior to disassembling to prevent
debris and contamination from entering.
Cover all air breather and drive shaft holes to prevent water intrusion.
Make sure all parts are clean prior to assembling / installing to prevent debris and
contamination from entering.
HINT:
 Refrigerating oil seals may help in assembly (axle and T/C seals).
 Unpack service parts just before installation.
 Apply rust penetrant to locator / dowel pins on the torque converter housing and side
cover of the CVT and allow to soak to help with disassembly.

Store the related parts that have
been removed separately to prevent
being mixed up; small cups can be
used.
 Unpack service parts just before
installation.

IMPORTANT:
Before continuing, it is recommended that you review and understand the instructions on
pages 49 through 53.
The sub-assembly will lower into the CVT case without applying extra vertical force.
IF THE SUB-ASSEMBLY DOES NOT LOWER COMPLETELY,
INTERFERENCE IS PRESENT.
! PHYSICAL
Key Technique: Raise to remove weight on interference, adjust as necessary, and
then lower again.
Use the “visual gap size” below (Figure 97 and Figure 98), between the sub-assembly and
the CVT case, to determine the cause of interference.

Align the parking rod with the parking pawl as follows:
IMPORTANT: Perform step 75 while there is a 38 mm (1.5 inch) gap between the
sub-assembly and CVT case (Figure 103).
a) Rotate the shift select lever clockwise on the side of the CVT to adjust the parking
rod to the highest position.
b) Use a magnet to align the parking rod in the CVT case (
in Figure 102) with the
opening in the parking pawl (
in Figure 101) in the side cover.
HINT: If the parking rod is not located correctly it will keep the case from lowering.

Continue to slowly lower the sub-assembly into the CVT case.

If the primary and the secondary pulley bearings do not align properly with their
bores (Figure 104) or are at an angle, a gap of 19 mm (0.75 inches) may be
present.
 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 19 mm (0.75 inches)?

If this occurs Do NOT force the sub-assembly into the 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).
c. Gently lower the sub-assembly.
d. Gently shake the sub-assembly horizontally, lower, raise and repeat as needed
to help align.
e. Lower to engage the dowel pins and a 6 mm (0.25 inch) gap is between the subassembly and CVT case.
