f. Confirm that the mating surface of the CVT case is seated to the sub-assembly
completely.


If the CVT case does not sit completely flush with the sub-assembly, DO NOT
apply any vertical force to seat it.
1) If this occurs, first lift the CVT case up slightly and then lower.
2) Repeat until the CVT case and sub-assembly sit flush with each other.

IMPORTANT:
In the following step:
 Do not drive the roll pin flush with the detent plate.
 If the roll pin is driven flush, it will be overextended on the opposite side and the
manual shaft/detent plate assembly will not rotate.
 The roll pin MUST be the same length on both sides of the detent plate after it is
installed through the detent plate and manual shaft.

7. Install the new roll pin through the detent
plate and manual shaft.


The roll pin must be inserted through
the detent plate so that both ends are
the same length.



Use a new roll pin (non-reusable).



Punch size: Diameter 3 mm, Length
20 mm or longer.
CAUTION: Use the appropriate size
punch to prevent damage to the roll
pin or detent plate.
