SERVICE PROCEDURE
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.
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.
Apply rust penetrant to locator / dowel pins on the torque converter housing and side
cover of the CVT and allow to soak as needed.
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.
 Unpack service parts just before installation.



Store the related parts that have
been removed separately to prevent
being mixed up; small cups can be
used.

Figure 6

IMPORTANT: The CVT unit “wiring harness
connector” will be reused during this
procedure. The wiring harness can be
disconnected from the control valve at the
wiring harness connector and remain in the
CVT.

NOTE: The number ‘7’ is on the head of all bolts that need to be removed for control
valve removal. Do not remove any bolt that does not have the number ‘7’.
CAUTION: Never allow any chemicals or fluids other than NS-3 CVT fluid or
equivalent to enter the CVT assembly. Never allow any foreign debris, dust,
dirt, etc. to enter the CVT assembly.
