Fuzzy,

Is the washer you speak of the one that appears on this page?

Is the washer that is doubled up the one that appears in this picture previous posted in Joe Bulva's thread?

Yes that is the washer. It clamps between the variator sleeve and the front pulley half controling the minimum distance between the variator and front pulley half. The extra washer moves the fixed position of the front pulley half causing the belt to sit lower for a given variator position.
Hello, will it be possible to give me the dimensions of the washer and if you know if you can mount it on a 500, thank you
it is the same dia inside and outside as stock oem only the thickness is different. the oem one is 2 mm the fuzzy washer is 1 mm. for a total of 3mm when both are installed.

On 400/500 stock washer is 36mm OD, 22mm ID and 2mm thick. The extra washer should be same diameters and 1mm thick.
