CAUTION

  1. Wear appropriate work clothing, including a cap, protective goggles and protective shoes when performing any work.
  2. Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation or disassembly.
  3. Keep the disassembled parts in order and protect them from dust and dirt.
  4. Do not place the oil pan with its inner side facing up until it is installed, to prevent intrusion of foreign matter into the control valve body.
  5. Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, installation, disassembly and replacement.
  6. When disassembling the case and other light alloy parts, use a plastic hammer to force it apart. Do not pry apart with screwdrivers or other tools.
  7. Vehicle components are extremely hot after driving. Be wary of receiving burns from heated parts.
  8. Use SUBARU genuine CVTF and recommended grease. Do not mix CVTF, grease etc. of different grades or manufacturers.
  9. Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
  10. Place lifts, shop jacks or rigid racks at specified locations.
  11. Apply CVTF onto sliding or revolving surfaces before installation.
  12. Replace deformed or damaged snap rings with new parts.
  13. Before installing O-rings or oil seals, apply sufficient amount of CVTF to avoid damage and deformation.
  14. Be careful not to incorrectly install or fail to install O-rings, snap rings and other such parts.
  15. Before securing a part on a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate, or cloth between the part and the vise.
  16. Avoid damaging the mating surface of the case.
  17. Before applying liquid gasket, completely remove the old liquid gasket.
  18. After removing the sensors, breather hose and plugs, plug the holes to avoid foreign materials intruding as necessary.

GENERAL TOOL CHART

CONDITION CHECK

Note. When replacing CVTF, determine the condition inside the transmission body by inspecting the drained CVTF.

Fluid conditionTrouble and possible causeCorrective action
Metal particles.Excessive wear of the internal of the transmission body.Replace CVTF and check if CVT operates correctly.
Thick and varnish-form fluid.Burnt clutchesReplace CVTF and check the CVT body or vehicle for faulty.
Clouded CVTF or bubbles.Water mixed in fluid.Replace CVTF and check the water entering point.

FLUID CONDITION CHART

PROCEDURE

Note. During variator chain break-in, VDC warning light and EPB warning light illuminate because of the difference between the vehicle speed value and G sensor value. This is not the malfunction. If the warning light illuminates, clear the VDC and EPB memory after the variator chain break-in is finished. Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE . During variator chain break-in, if the above malfunction code is detected, fail mode is entered. If this happens, symptom such as engine speed rapid increase occurs, even when the accelerator pedal is depressed gradually.

  1. Lift up the vehicle. CAUTION: Lift up the vehicle until the tire bottom is 0.3 m (0.98 ft) or more above the ground.
  2. Shift the select lever from "P" to "N" range.
  3. Apply the electronic parking brake.
  4. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
  5. Idle the engine to raise CVTF temperature to 40 - 50°C (104 - 122°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. NOTE: When CVTF temperature does not rise easily or if you want to rise CVTF temperature faster, maintain the engine speed within 2,000 - 2,500 RPM at "P" or "N" range to raise the CVTF temperature.
  6. With the select lever in "P" or "N" range, increase the engine speed to 3,000 - 3,500 RPM from the idling condition, and maintain approximately five seconds, then release the accelerator pedal.
  7. Depress the accelerator pedal gradually again from idling condition to increase the engine speed to 3,000 - 3,500 RPM, and maintain approximately five seconds, then release the accelerator pedal.
  8. Release the electronic parking brake.
  9. Shift the select lever into manual mode to set the 1st.
  10. Depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and increase the engine speed to 5,300 RPM from engine idling condition. NOTE: Increase the engine speed while observing it, so as not to overspeed the engine.
  11. Return the accelerator pedal to fully closed position to lower the engine speed to 4,000 RPM.
  12. Depress the accelerator pedal gradually again, and increase the engine speed to 5,300 RPM.
  13. Repeat the step 11) and 12) for 40 times.
  14. Return the accelerator pedal to return the engine idling speed.
  15. Shift the select lever to "P" range, and then turn the engine to OFF.
CAUTIONDo not turn the power of the Subaru Select Monitor OFF during work, and do not disconnect the data link connector. On completing the work in FWD, switch back in AWD.
  1. Shift the select lever to "P" range.
  2. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. (In the case of a push button start, press the push button ignition switch twice without stepping on the brake)
  4. Turn off all switches causing an electrical load, such as headlights, A/C, seat heater and rear defogger.
  5. Select {AT related learning & inspecting mode} in the & Transmission Diagnosis» screen of the Subaru Select Monitor.
  6. Select {AWD ON/OFF switching mode} in the & Learning and inspection mode related to AT& display screen of the Subaru Select Monitor.
  7. Follow the messages displayed on the Subaru Select Monitor screen when working. Switching completes successfully if any of the following messages is displayed.
  1. When switching from AWD to FWD: {Switched to FF. To return to AWD, perform basic mode again.}
  2. When switching from FWD to AWD: {Switched to AWD. To return to FF, perform basic mode again.}

Note. If communication error occurs during switching mode, start in the "AWD ON/OFF switching mode" again. If operation is interrupted before the successful end message is displayed, perform the {AWD ON/OFF switching mode} from the beginning until confirming the operation is successfully ended. If this mode fails to complete successfully, the cause is as follows. Select lever is not in "P" range. Engine is running. For details concerning the operation procedure, refer to PC application help for Subaru Select Monitor.

GENERAL PRECAUTION

Road tests should be conducted to properly diagnose the condition of CVT.

CAUTIONAlways observe the local traffic laws when performing the test.

D RANGE SHIFT FUNCTION

Make sure the engine speed is 1,100 - 1,300 RPM while driving on the level road at 50 km/h (31 MPH) after accelerating from halting to 1/4 of accelerator opening angle. Then stop the vehicle. Check normal gear change has occurred while the vehicle speed changes from a constant speed to zero.

KICK-DOWN FUNCTION

Check if engine speed will rise by operating the accelerator opening angle to the full from a constant speed of 50 km/h (31 MPH) or more.

LOCK-UP FUNCTION

When the accelerator is lightly depressed while driving on a flat road in "D" range, check that RPM does not change abruptly.

OIL LEAKAGE

After the driving test, inspect for leakage of CVTF and differential gear oil from the transmission body.

SIDE RETAINER

Note. After adjusting the drive pinion backlash and tooth contact, replace the oil seal and O-ring with new parts.
