Why This Kit?

The 2019–2021 Kia Forte, Forte5, and Rio use Kia's Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) — a high-efficiency CVT-style unit designed for smooth, stepless performance. Like any transmission, the IVT relies on clean, unobstructed fluid flow to operate correctly. Dirty or restricted fluid circulation leads to sluggish response, erratic shifting, and wear on internal components.

This kit gives you everything needed for a complete transmission pan service in one box:

✔ Filter — Removes fine metallic particles and degraded fluid byproducts from circulating fluid, protecting the valve body and internal components from abrasive contamination.

✔ NBR Pan Gasket — Provides a dependable, fluid-tight seal at the transmission pan. Nitrile rubber construction resists ATF fluid and heat, preventing slow leaks that can lead to low fluid levels, overheating, and costly repairs.

Symptoms That Signal It's Time For Service:

• Delayed or sluggish engagement when shifting into Drive or Reverse
• Rough, jerky, or inconsistent shifts
• Transmission warning light or slip indicator
• Visible fluid seepage under the vehicle
• Dark, burnt-smelling transmission fluid at fluid check

Pro Tip — Add Lubegard ATF For A Complete Service: While you're in there, add Lubegard CVT Recharge & Protect to your fresh fluid. Lubegard's patented LXE® technology extends fluid life, reduces transmission operating temperatures, suppresses fluid foaming, and promotes smoother, more consistent shifting. It's the brand professional transmission shops have trusted for over 30 years. Don't just change your fluid — protect it.

Installation Notes:

• Pan drop and filter access; transmission removal not required for most applications
• Torque bolts to OEM specification to ensure proper gasket seating
• Verify fitment by trim level — GT and manual models use different transmissions
