WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Pump Assembly 

NOTE: The pump assembly cannot be taken apart. It must be installed new as an assembly.

Inspect the pump for contamination, if contamination is present a new pump must be installed. The new pump assembly comes with a new seal. The seal will need to be removed and discarded in order to align and install the pump into the case.

    1. Pre-soak all of the new clutch plates in clean CVT transmission fluid.
    2. To correctly select the selective snap ring, the reverse clutch assembly will need to be assembled incorrectly.
    3. Clean and inspect all reverse clutch parts, install new parts as required.
  26. NOTE: Lubricate the seals in clean CVT transmission fluid.

    B +0.54 mm (0.02 in)
    C -1.50 mm (0.059 in)
    (D) Clearance -
    • Add line A to B, then subtract line C and enter this total on line D.
    • Line D is the actual clearance of the snap ring used during this measurement.
    • If the final measurement (D) is not within the specification, install a new selective snap ring (either thicker or thinner) until the clearance specification is achieved.
