Convert CVT to jackshaft

[2SlickNick]

I wanted to post this just in case it could help others out.
This can be used to convert jack shaft to a torque converter or vice versa.

Is the shaft metric?
I thought it was 5/8"

Every 5/8" sprocket I purchased fit fine on the TC jackshaft.

Well the best I can come up with is - They advertise it was a 5/8" shaft and driver, but since they are cut in China with metric measurements, it creates that small error/impreciseness, when matched up with a sprocket cut here with SAE measurements.

I love USA but the metric system is so... much easier to you and widely used.

I have the same issue with a Hilliard clutch and a China made crankshaft claimed to be 5/8"...

I just measured the one I have sitting here. It measured exactly 0.625”

Weird... I suppose I should've measured with my calipers before I made the video or for during the video LOL

I'm going to measure that in the morning. .. i've had this occur in three different torque converter's and sprockets I've ordered.
Something is wonky...
