Save yourself the headache and chance of screwing up your CVT by going to a trusted transmission shop and doing the preventative maintenance every 30 to 50k miles. If you insist on doing it yourself, I'd reach out to Fummins on here. He's a master mechanic that has been maintaining a fleet of CVT Mirages for a delivery service for years.
Besides JATCO engineers, there's probably only a couple of dozen of mechanics, world-wide, that know as much about the INVECS III programmed JATCO CVT7, as Fummins. This guy has completely stripped units down and diagnosed flaws in the design. He's also funny and buys milk out of a bag like a lot of Canadians.
