Installation
Installation is made in an order, the return to removal.
Note. When installing the variator on the engine, make sure that the pins are installed (indicated by arrows in the figure) inserted into the engine.
Note. When installing the variator on the engine, install the mounting bolts according to the tables below.
Screw the dowel pin onto the torque converter stud on the drive plate (A) (special tool 31197Са000).
If there is no special locating pin, turn the torque converter so that the pin (A) for the locating pin coincided with the installation location of the starter.
Rotate the crankshaft so that the hole (A) to insert the guide pin of the drive plate aligned with the installation position (IN) starter.
Note. If drive plate pilot pin is not used, insert torque converter stud into drive plate hole, aligning hole with torque converter. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the stud inserted into the drive disk installed in the hole does not match the stud of the torque converter.
Aligning the position of the fastening nuts (indicated in the figure by an arrow) drive plate with torque converter, screw on the nuts and then tighten to 51 Nm.
Note.
- Turn the crankshaft clockwise when looking at the engine from the front.
- When tightening the torque converter nuts after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be careful not to loosen the pulley bolts.
- After installing the torque converter, rotate the crankshaft a few revolutions to make sure the CVT turns freely.
