Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the MCKA variator
This variator appeared not so long ago and the statistics of its malfunctions are small.
It is necessary to update the oil, as well as coarse and fine filters every 40 km
With a rare change of lubricant, both filters become clogged and the pressure in the system drops.
All this leads to shocks during operation, and then rapid wear of the belt and cones.
It is also worth noting the high price of spare parts and contract units for dismantling
