I use an impact wrench to tighten the clutch and variator nuts. I also put RED LOCTITE on the NUTS.

If your clutch pads were glazed up, (which, is NORMAL for 10k+ miles) you should inspect the condition of the variator and clutch bell for glazing and grooving.

Honestly though, with ANY cvt problem on a cvt with over 10k on it, it makes the most preemptive sense to replace the entire CVT including belt, as it is not expensive, and most after-market 1e40 CVT kits are very durable.

I just installed a new CVT on my E-Ton Beemer, and it made one heck of difference, it can almost hang with the 150's now, and hits 52mph gps verified on flats on the stock carb and cylinder.
