What kind of upgrade is there? I saw a post about being able to replace the rubber around the bearing. But surely someone makes a fix??

Even though they have not really caught on some manufacturers use a constantly variable transmission, Unlimited gears ?
Don't think they handle torque real well though.

Cvt don't have any gears so to speak., there is a cone like gear that a belt rides on. As the speed of the belt increases it moves up the cone causing a faster speed. I'm sure there is a more technical explanation. But I just woke up lol

Could I per say take my drive shaft off, pre failure, and pack the bushing around the bearing with poly or window weld to help it last longer? I see drive shafts (off brand) for around $400 so it's not a terrible amount of money but if I can spend $20 and it last then I want to do that.

Yea, the window weld stuff you can get at Home Depot shouldn't be that bad. They have a bunch of different hardness poly too. Also I bet a bushing could be put between the two bolts that hold the bushing to the car.

How about this kit guys?

Says only 3.0 Tdi... Why is that? You'd think they'd all be the same. But I mean, I'm not complaining, I have a 3.0 haha.
