  • Patent number: 11493100
    Abstract: An adjustable mass clutch weight for use in a CVT clutch is provided. The adjustable mass clutch weight may include an elongate body having a heel and a tip; a first protrusion having external threads extending from a first side of the elongate body at the heel. The adjustable mass clutch weight may also include a second protrusion having external threads extending from a second side of the elongate body at the heel. The adjustable mass clutch weight may also include a mounting aperture extending through the first protrusion, the elongate body and the second protrusion; and at least one mass adjustment weight with a threaded aperture extending through the at least one mass adjustment weight. The at least one mass adjustment weight may be coupled to the first threaded protrusion and/or the second threaded protrusion to adjust the mass of the adjustable mass clutch weight at the heel of the elongate body.

  • Patent number: 10393263
    Abstract: A rebuild kit for a spider assembly of a CVT clutch is provided. The rebuild kit includes two non-rotating washers, a roller for each location on a spider. The spider may have wear that is over an acceptable amount of wear determined by the manufacturer. The rebuild kit further includes a pin that couples the two non-rotating washers and the roller between the non-rotating washers within the spider. The roller is engaged by a flyweight of the CVT clutch and the non-rotating washers prevent additional wear of the spider while maintaining the roller aligned with the flyweight during operation of the CVT clutch. The rebuild kit may also include an insert within an aperture of the roller, wherein the insert has high temperature resistance, a low coefficient of friction and non-adhesive properties.
