Hi, I am very intrigued with the CVT and it's particular failure modes and am very interested in taking one apart to try and determine specifcially how they work (I have read the ZF document, but would like one to play with) and try and determine if there are thing(s) that can be done to try and fix them, or improve them in order to help all those out there with them and are having problems. Obviously, there is no guarantee, and I amy determine there are so many issues/weakness/failure modes, they can't reasonably all be addressed. Anyway, I would very much like to purchase a couple of these that are dead/bad to disect and experiement with. Please let me know if you have one available and are willing to get rid of it at a nominal cost so I can take them apart. Thanks!
My background is 25 yrs as a mechatronics engineer, licensed NC PE and extremely curious. Thanks again for the consideraiton.
