the temp will be in the 20's tomorrow, perfect for working on the vento triton r4 variator..i have not been inside the tranny case yet but i have read that the variator nut is a reverse thread.. i am not sure there will be any exposed thread, so i ask those who have gone before me.. i have a rattle gun but lack direction..thanks

Never seen a left hand thread crank on one yet. Unless you wanna call it reverse thread cause ya gotta put the gun in reverse to remove the nut? lol ;D

Variator rotates counterclockwise. The nut is a standard righty-tighty lefty-loosey

The only left handed thread on a varator that I know of is on my United Motors Xspeed. They DO HAVE a LEFT HANDED thread on the varator but a standard thread on the clutch.

You shouldn't need to do anything to it since you have an impact gun to remove it.

thanks for the heads up on the details, it should save me some time working outside in the 20f weather.

i swapped the 4g for 5g and seems slower on top end, after a brief ride at 18f.. i will try 4.5 and see what happens. then there is an extra part that i not sure of its placement. its a thin washer that fits over the splined part of the shaft. it put it between the fan and the kick start engagement part. i looked at the parts schematic @ parts & accessories but did not see it..

Just a spacer. If it's on the outside of the vari as it sounds it's just keeping your kickstart pawl or gear in the right spot.

i was able to make only 2 runs today, to darn cold. 5 and 6 g rollers with a daywot unit.. 6 seems to be about = to the oem unit with 4g rollers. gonna be in the 30's tomorrow, i have 7 and 8g to try. the gasket is torn and missing in a few spots, is it worth replacing? the daywot unit is only 1 piece and a set of 8 g rollers. no cover with guides or center bushing, but it is less $.

Don't bother with the gasket. It's pretty much useless IMO.

Do you have a gr. scale to check the weights? They may not be what the say. You can mix them every other one on the var. . Or drill out the heavy ones if to heavy. Temp. changes things to.
