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 6).
Dowel pin locations
Figure 6
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
5. Secure the right front tire with a suitable strap.
6. Mark the left front tire with a suitable marking.
This will assure all 360° of the chain is inspected.
7. 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 9
a. First inspect the entirety (360°) of the driver side of the chain that comes in contact with the pulley (see page 11, Figure 13 and Figure 14, and page 12 Figure 15).
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 pages 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 INFORMATION. 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 9 (also see pages 10-11, Figure 11-Figure 14). Insert the lens approximately 8-9 inches, and then view the side of the chain that contacts the pulley. Refer to Garage Video #546 if needed for Borescope inspection.

IMPORTANT:
Before continuing, it is recommended that you review and understand the instructions on pages 42 to 47.
Confirm dowel pins are clean this will ease installation.
The sub-assembly will lower into the CVT case without applying extra vertical force.
IF THE SUB-ASSEMBLY DOES NOT LOWER COMPLETELY,
! PHYSICAL
INTERFERENCE IS PRESENT.
Key Technique: Raise the sub-assembly to remove weight from the interference, adjust as necessary, and then lower again.
Use the "gap size" between the sub-assembly and the CVT case to determine the cause of interference. At any given gap, only 1 item will be the cause of interference

69. Carefully lower the Lifting Fixture to install the sub-assembly into the CVT case as follows:
While visually looking down into the bore (Figure 95) to confirm that the output gear is clearing the CVT case bearing bore, a. Level the sub-assembly by placing hands on top to guide it into the CVT case. b. Lower the sub-assembly until a gap of 40 mm (1.6 inch) is present to the CVT case (Figure 98 on page 44) and then proceed to step 70. If the sub-assembly will not lower any farther than 50 mm (2 inches) the output gear has not cleared the bearing bore (Figure 95).
Sub-assembly will not lower past 50 mm (2 inches)? Interference is present between the output gear and bearing bore and are highlighted with yellow in Figure 94 and Figure 95.

71. 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 99) or are at an angle, a gap of 18 mm (0.7 inch) may be present.
Possible areas of interference are highlighted with orange and tan in Figure 99. 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 inch)?
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 subassembly 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 6 mm (0.25 inch) to clear the dowel pins.

IMPORTANT: In the following steps the case halves must sit flush against each other without a gap before installing the bolts. The bolts CANNOT be used to draw the cases together. DO NOT APPLY VERTICAL FORCE.
72. Once the dowel pins are cleared, ease the sub-assembly down onto the CVT case until the case halves are flush. Confirm the dowel pins are clean and aligned and are not catching on the subassembly case cover. WARNING: Be careful not to get fingers caught between the CVT case and subassembly when seating.
Sub-assembly will not lower past 5 mm (0.2 inch)?
If the sub-assembly will not lower past 5 mm (0.2 inch), the primary pulley splines are interfering with the planetary carrier splines.
If this occurs Do NOT force sub-assembly into case. a. Raise the sub-assembly slightly to separate the primary pulley and the planetary carrier splines to remove interference. b. Slightly rotate the primary pulley back and forth slowly, through the bottom of the CVT, and then lower the sub-assembly. c. Repeat as needed.

IMPORTANT: In the following steps, use only a slide hammer and hands to separate the
side cover.
In the following steps, if the side cover does not easily lift off by hand
it is still
seated on the pulley bearings and must first be completely separated.
Do NOT use tool J-52275 at this time.
75. Install two Pulley Bracket Guide Pins (J-52272).
The bracket guide pins will be used as a height marker of the pulleys to ensure they remain seated in the case as the side cover is removed.
76. Use slide hammer (J-25721-A) with Jhook case separator (J-51923) and evenly separate the side cover from the belt and pulley assembly.
Alternate between the three hooking locations on the side cover until the side cover separates from the pulleys (see page 37 Figure 81).
As the side cover is raised up, the exposed height of the pulley guide pins will shorten. This is an indicator that the pulleys are remaining seated in the CVT case.
Make sure the side cover is completely separated from the pulley bearings.
Once the side cover is separated from pulley bearings, it will rock freely and can be easily lifted by hand.
IMPORTANT: Use only a slide hammer and hands to separate the side cover from the pulleys.
