Belt Replacement/Debris Removal

3.Remove all debris from the entire clutch air duct passage.

4.Check for signs of damage to seals on the transmission and

engine. See your dealer promptly for service if any seals appear to be damaged.

Tip: Belt slip is responsible for creating excessive heat that destroys belts, wears clutch

components and causes outerClutch Air Duct clutch covers to fail. Switch to low

range while operating at slower speeds to extend the life of the PVT components (belt, cover, etc.).

2.Allow the water to drain. Reinstall the drain plug.

3.Place the transmission in PARK. Apply the brakes.

4.Start the engine.

5.Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for more than 10 seconds.

6.Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed. Apply the brakes. Shift the transmission to the lowest available range.

7.Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process.
