i.

Access the counter driven gear

Rotate the counter driven gear
on the primary pulley back and
forth.

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.
i.

If this occurs, first lift the CVT case up slightly and then lower.

ii.

Repeat until the CVT case and sub-assembly sit flush with each other.

To prevent CVT operational issues, use care when assembling the manual shaft and detent
plate.


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.

133. 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.

Roll pin
Punch

Use a new roll pin (non-reusable).

Use the appropriate size punch to
prevent damage to the roll pin or
detent plate.

If the input shaft assembly is, for any reason, separated into individual components,
see steps 96f - 96h on pages 64 - 65 to reassemble those parts, otherwise continue
to step 138.

138.

Install the input shaft assembly to
the CVT case as follows:

Input shaft



Hold the tip of the input shaft so
that the input shaft and the pump
cover remain together.



Confirm that the oil pump cover
seats onto the CVT case
completely.

Do not draw the input shaft assembly
down to the case with the mounting
bolts or damage to the CVT may
occur.
