2002-2005 Saturn Vue/Ion New OEM CVT VT25-E Transmission Belt

Fit In Five Steps

How to replace a Saturn Vue/Ion CVT VT25-E Transmission Belt?

1.Loosen Tension and Remove Belt

Secure the vehicle and open the bonnet. Disconnect the battery terminal. Locate the adjustment fastener and loosen it. This is usually on the alternator mounting or on a separate pulley wheel. Move the adjusting mechanism in far enough to allow you to remove the belt. Some vehicles use an automatic spring tension system. In that case, pull the tensioning device back so that you can remove the belt.

2.Inspect Drive and Drive pulleys

Check the drive and pulley wheels. Look for cracks and other forms of damage. Check that there is no sideways movement indicating worn bearings, and spin the pulley wheels by hand to check that the bearings are rotating freely.

3.Select Correct Replacement Belt & Remove Old Saturn Vue/Ion CVT VT25-E Transmission Belt

Obtain the correct size and type of replacement belt specified in the manual, and compare it with the belt you have just removed. They should be very similar, although the old belt may have stretched in use.

4.Install New Saturn Vue/Ion CVT VT25-E Transmission Belt

Install the new belt from Supercheap Auto, making sure that it is properly seated in the V-shape groove. If the belt is a Serpentine type, then make sure that it is the correct width and squarely aligned in the pulley grooves. If this is not correctly aligned, the belt will be thrown off the pulley wheels. Tension the belt using a spanner and a pry bar, and then check it with a tension gauge.

5.Correctly Tension New Belt and Start the Engine

Tension the belt using a spanner and a pry bar, and then check it with a tension gauge. Start the engine, and observe the belt to make sure that it is properly seated and operating correctly. Reconnect the battery. Stop the engine again, and recheck the tension. Close the bonnet after finishing replacing process.
