This variator clone is a hot mess. I ended up using my original starter shoes, the others where too big even to grind down. Pressure plate, ball bearings. I was missing parts so I simply used my old stuff the clutch looked like cardboard. replace that as well. It works, but noisy till it wears in? I hope I can get a few years on it till I buy a better unit from overseas.

Knew it was a clone of the OG but wasnt sure how far off it could be. Jeez, it's pretty off. A lot of the pieces are entirely different and not cross compatible with the original stock variator. Diff thickness shims .. some pieces taller than others.. you get the idea. I'm sure theres a bunch of good usable parts in this assembly but god knows I ain't patient enough to find em. Slapped this puppy together and experienced varying amounts of rubbing / binding etc. Maybe I'm an idiot and itll work perfect for you? Dunno. I'm gonna go source a used stock one. Toodles yall.
