Jimbo removed the engine, installed a quarter-inch aluminum plate to raise the engine 0.635cm, which just made the car heavier by the weight of one aluminum plate.
Good thing it came with extra holes!
The transmission seized and made the car come to a stop when he was nearly home.
He replaced some CVT parts and said he was no longer ordering belts from Amazon, which should be identical to the ones he used to order, but those were allegedly made in the U.S., while the Amazon ones claim to be made in Italy, so hopefully switching back and replacing parts will prevent further problems.
