[quote="Bernardo"][quote="mr fish"]Im getting jelous now (need upgrades) cant stand the belt slap and vibrations any longer its driving me mad

John, there are a couple of things that have reduced belt slap for me. First - a couple of years ago on the yahoo forum, Whit mentioned that he sprayed some belt dressing on the dive belt and it made everything run smoother and quieter. I tried it, and got the same results. Just remove the CVT cover and spray some belt dressing on the inside of the belt while you are gently giving it some throttle. After I did this, acceleration was much smoother and much quieter. However, the result was fairly short lived and the noise and shudder during acceleration returned after a couple thousand miles.
I also noticed that doing the brake torque to eliminate clutch squeal also reduced overall CVT noise. I'm not exactly sure why this happens, since the brake torque technique is designed to remove glaze from the clutch shoes, but it does seem to help with belt noise, slap, and vibration as well.
I have since noticed that I can accomplish the same effect by simply doing a series of WOT starts in quick succession. Simply find an empty parking lot or road. Stop, do a wide open throttle start, stop as soon as you get up to 25 mph, do another WOT start and repeat this about 5 or 6 times. This helps to reduce CVT noise. It doesn't completely eliminate belt slap, but it does seem to reduce it and also result in a smoother acceleration. When the CVT noise returns.....which it will, I simply repeat the WOT starts again.
