Hi all I was going to remove this filter to help keep the temperature down inside the cover by the varitaor/belt/clutch but was advised its best to leave it in Also i noticed my clutch drum has very little ventilation holes so i put some extra vent holes near the rear clutch and i had an old clutch drum so i decided to mod the drum too, it did not have many holes in it to allow the heat to escape so i put some more in it, if its does not work out i still have an original to put back on. I can feel air getting push out now so it should run cooler i hope lol Has anyone else modded their cvt belt cover with extra vent holes, and is so, did it help Some pics would be good if you have any, cheers Cheers Heres the Original clutch drum the modded one
