So it seems as though I need to replace one of these two rubber hoses (D & E). It looks like E is leaking a few drops a day, but I may as well replace both at the same time. My question is with the removal of these hoses, am I going to have to worry about getting air into this part of the transmission? And if I'm not to worry, should I not even bother taking off the ATF drain plug since it's draining from these hoses?
I'll probably replace the filter since I don't know the history on it, and I'll make sure to measure how much came out so I know where to start when refilling.
Does the CVT come with a transmission cooler? If not, has anyone added one?
I would like my CVT to last as long and to make it as "bulletproof" as possible. I know heat to be one of the greater enemies of a transmission, so in theory, a cooler is a great preventative measure.

Hi all,
Long story short, I have a grinding noise coming from the front right hand side of my 2014 manual diesel foz.
It has a 2 inch lift in it and a few other mods but nothing serious.
The suspect noise is only heard when holding speed or accelerating slightly in 3rd and 4th gears. I can...
