Continuously Variable Transmission: Adjustments Subaru Outback BR

ADJUSTMENT

Scheme 221

Scheme 222

1. Idle the engine to raise CVTF temperature to 35 - 45°C (95 - 113°F) on Subaru Select Monitor.
2. Set the vehicle on a lift.
3. Operate the select lever in P => R => N => D and D => N => R => P to circulate CVTF with the engine idling.
4. With the engine running, lift up the vehicle and remove the filler plug. CAUTION: Pay special attention to the following operations as the engine is at idle. NOTE: CVTF is at the specified level when it is up to the filler plug hole lower section.
5. When there is no CVTF leakage from the transmission, add the specified fluid or equivalent up to the filler plug hole lower section. CVT fluid: Ref. to «HYDRAULIC CONTROL AND LUBRICATION»(ref-371903-S28732902222010091900000) , SPECIFICATION, General Description. CAUTION: Note that when CVTF is added up to the lower section of filler plug while the transmission is in cold condition, overfilling of CVTF occurs, causing the oil to spill out.
6. Install the filler plug. NOTE: Use a new gasket. Tightening torque: 50 N.m (5.1 kgf-m, 36.9 ft-lb)

Note. Immediately after removing the overflow drain plug, remaining gear oil (approx. 8 cc) may come out of the overflow pipe. This is not included in the specified amount. When removing the overflow drain plug, make sure the gear oil flows out of the overflow drain plug hole by filling with gear oil.

Scheme 225

1. Remove the air breather cap.
2. Lift up the vehicle.
3. Remove the overflow drain plug.
4. Fill in the differential gear oil through the charge pipe up to where the oil flows out of the overflow drain plug. Recommended gear oil: Ref. to «RECOMMENDED GEAR OIL»(ref-371903-S24189570652010091900000) , SPECIFICATION, General Description.
5. When the flow of the differential gear oil turns into a narrow stream, install the overflow drain plug. NOTE: Use a new gasket. Tightening torque: 35 N.m (3.6 kgf-m, 25.8 ft-lb)

Note. When replacing the extension case, select the shims for rear drive shaft thrust needle bearing and transfer reduction driven gear. Ref. to ADJUSTMENT , Rear Drive Shaft. Ref. to ADJUSTMENT , Transfer Reduction Driven Gear.

Scheme 228

Scheme 229

1. Using the ST, measure the distance "A" from ST end face to rear drive shaft thrust needle bearing catch surface. ST 398643600 GAUGE
2. Using the ST, measure the height "B" from the intermediate case mating surface to the ST end face. NOTE: Place the measurement tool at the dent on ST upper side to measure. ST 499737100 GAUGE
3. Using the ST, measure the height "C" from ST end face to transfer clutch assembly thrust needle bearing catch surface. NOTE: Place the measurement tool at the dent on ST upper side to measure. ST 499737100 GAUGE
4. Obtain the thickness of shim using the following formula to select the thrust bearing. T mm = (A- 15) - (B - C) - (0.05 - 0.25) [T in = (A - 0.59) - (B - C) - (0.002 - 0.01)] T: Thrust bearing thickness A: Height from the ST end face to the rear drive shaft thrust needle bearing catch surface B: Height from the mating surface of the intermediate case to the ST end face C: Height from the ST end face to the transfer clutch assembly thrust needle bearing catch surface 0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.01 in): Clearance
