Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

What we see in this video is a procedure suitable for those with basic mechanical knowledge: if we don't feel up to it, let's definitely rely on a good mechanic before making a mess that we might regret. First, let's proceed with the disassembly of the variator, removing the 12 reverse size bolts that secure the cover, being careful, as some bolts may fall during disassembly.

Clean the residue of the old balancing mass (present on the internal components). Inspect the clutch, checking the gaskets, shoes, and bearings, which we will lubricate with specific grease for high temperatures.

Using a 19 socket wrench to remove the rear pulley, clean the CVT belt and check for wear. It is recommended to use quality products, avoiding generic greases; check the direction of rotation of the components before reassembly.
