2. Remove the CVTF strainer (D) (two bolts).
3. Remove the eight bolts securing the lower valve body (E), lower the lower valve body, and hold it.
4. Remove the bolt securing the solenoid harness connector (F), and remove the lower valve body, the two CVTF pipes (G), and the solenoid harness 8P connector from the transmission housing.
5. Remove the CVTF magnets (H) (I), and clean and reinstall them in the CVTF pan.
6. Remove the O-ring (J) from the CVTF strainer, and remove the O-ring (K) from the solenoid harness 8P connector. Install new ones when reinstalling the lower valve body.
7. Clean the inlet opening (A) of the CVTF strainer (B) thoroughly with compressed air, then check that it is in good condition and that the inlet opening is not clogged.

11. Remove the differential assembly (D).
12. Remove the CVTF passage pipe (E) (one bolt), the O-rings (F), and the lubrication pipe (G).
13. Remove the three bolts securing the CVTF pump drive sprocket (H), then remove the CVTF pump drive chain (I) and the CVTF pump drive sprocket.
14. Remove the snap ring (J) from the input shaft (K), then remove the thrust shim (L), the CVTF pump drive sprocket hub (M), the thrust washer (N), the thrust needle bearing (O), and the thrust washer (P) from the input shaft.
15. Remove the park pawl shaft (Q), and remove the park pawl spring (R) and the park pawl (S).
16. Remove the thrust shim (T) and the final drive shaft (U), then remove the secondary driven gear(V).
17. Remove the snap ring (W) securing the start clutch (X), and remove the cotter retainer (Y) and the cotters (Z).
18. Remove the transmission range switch (AA) (two bolts) with the control shaft cover (AB).
19. Remove the CVT input shaft (drive pulley) speed sensor (AC) (one bolt), the CVT output shaft (driven pulley) speed sensor (AD) (one bolt), the vehicle speed sensor (AE) (one bolt), and the dipstick tube (AF) (each one bolt), and remove the O-rings (AG).
20. Remove the line bolts (AH) securing the CVTF cooler lines (Al), then remove the CVTF cooler lines and the sealing washers (AJ).
21. Set the start clutch remover on the start clutch (A), and attach the pawl (B) of the start clutch remover to the park gear (C) securely. Do not place the pawl of the start clutch remover on the start clutch guide. If the pawl contacts the start clutch guide, the clutch guide may be damaged. Be sure not to allow dust and other foreign particles to enter the driven pulley shaft.
