CVT External Filter Housing

Excellent post. Just know though, those 2 filters are recommended to change at 100k km. Don't feel like you have to change them out everytime you do a CVT fluid change. Still though, being so diligent, your Mirage will last till the world becomes "Mad Max: Hell & Hypermilling". Well done!

Thanks, I will keep that in mind for the next time. I wasn't too sure about cvt filter intervals. My dealer even said it's best to leave it alone and some threads talked about a schedule of every 30k miles.

You're German, why are you talking miles instead of kilometers and why are you driving a CVT when you should be driving a manual?!? Lol I joke of course.

Hello all,
first time poster, long time lurker here.

I'm from germany and drive a 2019 Mirage with the infamous CVT transmission. I was going to attempt my first CVT fluid and filter change. Watching several videos on this topic and how to do things properly, I started working and after removing my inner wheel liner I realized pretty fast that there was a unit bolted to my CVT which I have not seen in any of those videos before.

It seems like i need to remove this "unit" in order to gain access to the external filter housing.
My question is, if someones knows what this part is and if I can remove just the black top or do I need to remove the whole assembly?

I would be grateful for any hints/tricks. Maybe someone already faced the same problem before?

I have changed my cvt filter today remove the 3 bots and you have enough space slide the filter out.
