  • Maintain clean condition so that foreign substance does not get into the Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).
  • Use a coated apron, latex gloves, and stainless tray to prevent foreign substance from getting into the Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).
  1. Install the pressure sensor (A).

    Tightening torque: 

    11.8 - 13.7 N-m (1.2 - 1.4 kgf-m, 8.7 - 10.2 lb-ft)

      NOTE: Tightening the bolts without aligning the valve body hole with the gasket hole may result in any IVTF leaks.
    4. Tighten the remaining valve body cover mounting bolts except for the reference hole to the tightening torque.

      Tightening torque: 

      9.8 - 11.8 N-m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf-m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)

      NOTE: Tighten the bolts diagonally alternately so that pressure is evenly applied.
    5. Check that the valve body cover hole and gasket hole are properly aligned through the reference hole and tighten the bolt (A) to the reference hole.

      Tightening torque: 

      9.8 - 11.8 N-m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf-m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)
