My v slider guides (I assume that's the proper term for the three black, plastic guides that allow your variator to slide open and closed) would not stay on the new variator very well, so I used a dot of gorilla glue to hold them in place. Good or bad? If good, I'll put it in my tips list that I'm making.

I wouldn't suggest it. But that's just me.  Dave |

I thought they were supposed to be wobbly and loose...  |

When i read the title i thought " is he nuts?"
But you meant the V slider plate GUIDE'S.
Putting a dab of adhesive just to hold them in place for Assembly will be fine, but don't get any on the sliders.. or you'll be stuck (pun intended)
Dr. pully guides fit nice and snug and would not need any, i have them and they work well. (you have to push them in place they are so tight fitting) Try them first.

If they are that loose then the assembly is worn and needs to be replaced. Glue will not usually hold up to the stress and heat and may then excellerate the wear. Those guides are what takes the thrust of the driving force so the rollers move more freely in the ramps so once the guides or guide slots in the plate wear too much then the sliding sheeve ends up driven by the rollers ends instead of the guides.

Come to think of it, when I switched to Dr Pulley's I had the same problem. (especially with the Teflon plastic) they dropped out too easily, but upon first reading this my reaction was about the same as everybody else's... HUH??!!! but since they are press fitted in anyway and won't interfere with the sliding motion, it should be alright.

Thanks everybody. In fact, the variator is brand new, as are the guides. They fit in, but through my fumblings when working will fall out. After taking a half hour to locate one that fell off in the grass, I had to do something.

they shouldnt be too loose. theyre not going to go out of place. but make sure you get the right ones. if they came with your variator and arent worn out. and they are made for your variator. some are turned corners weirder and fit closer to the variator better. i got handfuls, some hold them selves. some slide in but arent a lot of material on the outside to clamp on the variator, but wont go out of place while shifting. just getting th eright ones.
