WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Correct handling of the variator chain during service repairs is critical to durability of the chain. Incorrect handling of the chain may cause damage to the chain and/or the variators during transaxle operation.
  • Do not put the chain in dirty or dusty areas. If the chain is to be out of the transmission for any length of time cover it with a lint free rag or other suitable material that will not deposit lint or foreign material on the chain.
  • Do not wash or clean the chain with water or other solvents. Only clean the chain with clean automatic transmission fluid.
  • Do not magnetize the chain.
  • Do not slide or drag the chain across other surfaces.
  • Do not drop the chain. The chain may become damaged if struck against a bench, fixture or other object.
    CAUTION: Inspect the variators and the chain for scratches, nicks or damage. If any damage is indicated, the installation of all 3 new components will be required.
