    CAUTION: If the transmission case gets in contact with the application pressure pipe, lubrication pipe, release pressure pipe and support rod, do not install the transmission case forcibly.
    NOTE:
    • Install while checking the application pressure pipe, lubrication pipe, release pressure pipe and support rod are being inserted properly into transmission case.
    • If installing the transmission case is difficult, check if the application pressure pipe, lubrication pipe, release pressure pipe and support rod are bent.
    • The total number of transmission case mounting bolts is 15.

    Tightening torque: 

    41 N.m (4.2 kgf-m, 30.2 ft-lb)

  7. Install a new O-ring to the CVTF pipe.
  8. The smaller opening (A) of CVTF pipe should be inserted to transmission case first.
