CAUTION: While removing and installing the ATF tilier,
be sure not to allow dust or other for6ign particle3 to
enter thg transmission.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands (see section 1).
2. Set the parking brake, and block both rear wheels
securely.
3. Remove the drain plug, and drain the CVT fluid.
Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer
{see page 14-299).

Fill the transmission with cvT Fluid, and run the
engine for 30 seconds or until approximately 0 95 {
(1.0 US qt.,0.8 lmp qt.) is discharged.
Remove the drain hose, and reconnect the cooler
return hose to the transmission (see page 14-355)

TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Empty and rinse after each use. Fill the can with water
and pressurize the can. Flush the discharge line to
ensure that the unit is clean.
2, lf discharge liquid does not foam, the orifice may be
blocked.
3. To clean, disconnect the plumbing from the tank at
the large couPling nut.

System Description
Fluid Flow Diagram
The system is a compact rotary-valve-type power steering, connected to the steering gearbox. The fluid pressure is pro-
vided by a vane-type pump which is driven by the engine crank pulley. The amount of fluid and pressure is regulated by
the flow control valve built into the pump. The fluid pressure from the pump is delivered to the valve body unit around the
pinion of the steering gearbox. The valve inside the valve body unit controls the hydraulic pressure and changes the direc-
tion of the flow. The fluid then flows to the power cylinder. where rack thrust is generated. Fluid returning from the power
cylinder flows back to the reservoir, where the fluid is "filtered" and supplied to the pump again.
