Earlier today I ordered a few parts for the Challenger.  My newest mods are going to be, upgraded clutch springs, stiffer main spring, slotted variator, sliders, and compressed air in the tires!  Rolling Eyes I started the project tonight even though I won't be getting my parts until after the weekend.  I decided to document everything after I had already taken the whole darn thing apart.  So, I will be posting some pictures of the process oof rebuilding the cvt and anyone who wants to take theirs apart can just reverse the order of steps. First picture is of the stock clutch assembly completely disassembled.

This is as far as I got. I will post some more pictures as the parts come in and will be sure to give my opinion on if these parts were worth the money. Here are the last pics for tonight
