are you talking about a centrifugel clutch? because if you are we have those fatory installed by honda. If your talking about a cvt i belive its called kinda like a snow moblie clutch like on an elite the great taz is suppost to be building one for the nq50 and should be out soon.

They are sim to CVT. The same thing really. Look up go kart parts. May be easier to fit to the Spree.

I'm also working on it. The adapters made already. Just need to find some time to set it up. I'm using a Tav2 no back plate (of course) clutch up front, adapter in the rear to eliminate the gear and to fit the spline, adapter in front so it can fit the elite e output shaft.

Will see how it works in a few weeks.

I had a buddy at a machine shop cut a adapter. Started playing with it today, I guess I was not clear enough about the spines, He cut the addendum for the dedendum Or whatever that is, I just point a grunt, basically the inner hole was to big by the space thickness of the spline tooth. So he is going do it again either this weekend or next (when the boss is not there).

The Driver (Primary) Adapter consists of a Piece of billet aluminum rod. Center is bored out and splines are being cut into it. The out side dia is 3/4" with a key way cut into it so the Driver will fit the crank shaft. The Driven(secondary) is much the same except it will be setup so there are no bearings and will just drive the Driven attached to the rear tranny input shaft. Then after this is all fingered (haha) out we will then have to figure out the right belt length. These TAVs will do a .90 Over Drive if setup correctly.

Using a old crank I got on ebay for $20 and the tranny input shaft left over from the Taz gear swap to cut the splines. Its nice to have friends that are slow at work. hehe Ill get some pictures when I get the parts together
