Inspection

INFOID:0000000010114020

Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the CVT fluid is very dark, smells

burned, or contains foreign particles, frictional material (clutches) may need replacement. A tacky film that will

not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump

pressure.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for CVT fluid leakage and check CVT fluid level. Refer to 

TM-155, "Inspection"

.
