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

CONDITION CHECK
Note. When replacing CVTF, determine the condition inside the transmission body by inspecting the drained CVTF.
| Fluid condition | Trouble and possible cause | Corrective 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 clutches | Replace 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. |
PROCEDURE
| CAUTION | Do 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. |
- Shift the select lever to "P" range.
- Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
- Turn the ignition to ON. (For model with push button ignition switch, press the push button ignition switch twice without depressing brake pedal.)
- Turn off all switches causing an electrical load, such as headlights, A/C, seat heater and rear defogger.
- Select {Work Support} in the « Transmission Diagnosis » screen of Subaru Select Monitor.
- Select {Maintenance mode} in the « Work Support » screen of Subaru Select Monitor.
- Select {AWD ON/OFF switching mode} in the « Maintenance mode » screen of the Subaru Select Monitor.
- Follow the messages displayed on the Subaru Select Monitor screen when working. Switching completes successfully if any of the following messages is displayed. When switching from AWD to FWD: {Switched to FF. To return to AWD, perform basic mode again.} 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 detailed operation procedures, refer to "PC application help for Subaru Select Monitor".
GENERAL PRECAUTION
Road tests should be conducted to properly diagnose the condition of CVT.
| CAUTION | Always observe the local traffic laws when performing the test. |
D RANGE SHIFT FUNCTION
Make sure the engine speed is 1, 100 - 1, 400 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.

- Check the operation of forward clutch piston by blowing compressed air intermittently from forward clutch carrier hole.
- Place the driven plate, drive plate and retaining plate neatly in this order on surface table.
- Set the dial gauge to retaining plate, and read its scale. NOTE: The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point.
- Scale and record the weight "Z" of a flat board which will be put on retaining plate. NOTE: The value, which is read in the gauge at this time, is zero point. Use a flat board weighing less than 52 N (5.3 kgf, 11.7 lb).
- Put the flat board on retaining plate.
- Using the following formula, read the push/pull gauge and calculate "N". N = 52 N (5.3 kgf, 11.7 lb) - Z 52 N (5.3 kgf, 11.7 lb) : Load applied to clutch plate Z: Flat board weight
