CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION(TR580) > Transfer Clutch Pressure Test
INSPECTION
CAUTION:
• Directly after the vehicle has been running or the engine has been idling for a long time, the CVTF is hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
• Make sure no other person is around the vehicle during transfer clutch pressure test measurement.
1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Remove the rear exhaust pipe from center exhaust pipe.

3. Remove the center exhaust cover.
4. Set the transmission jack under the transmission.
5. Remove the mounting bolt of rear crossmember.

6. Lower the rear side of transmission until the transfer clutch pressure test plug can be removed.
7. Using the ST, remove the transfer clutch pressure test plug.

Tightening torque:
70 N·m (7.1 kgf-m, 51.6 ft-lb)

10. Install the rear exhaust pipe to center exhaust pipe.
Tightening torque:
18 N·m (1.8 kgf-m, 13.3 ft-lb)

11. Lower the vehicle.
12. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the data link connector and read the current data.
13. Check the transfer clutch pressure as in secondary pressure (line pressure) test. Secondary Pressure (Line Pressure) Test">
NOTE:
• Use Subaru Select Monitor for switching to FWD mode. AWD ON/OFF Switching Mode">
• If no oil pressure is produced, if it does not change in AWD mode or if oil pressure is produced in FWD mode, there may be a problem in the control valve body.
