CVT Fail

Post by mightbesane »

A buddy was doing a 48/10 (48 states in 10 days) on his T Max but during the second day, after a long, high speed run, he began to get a nasty juddering. After pulling into a motel parking lot, here's what he found. OUCH!! (EDIT: Silver Wing)

In other pics, he shows the races for his sliders chewed up. SOMETHING failed first. I'd like to know which.

If you look at spline its very dry where ramp plate sits I used to grease mine the ramp plate is taking a lot of power from the engine and its no that thick
