212CC Torque Converter 6.5 HP 3/4" - 30 Series

I ordered this for a 196cc Coleman b200c and so far it has worked really well. I did reconfigure the washers so that it has a washer- sprocket - washer- driven pulley. Because the clearance for my 410 chain wasn't working and the chain was hitting the pulley and gaughing it out when going down hill and letting off the throttle. This required adding a washer to the drive pulley as well. The tiny misalignment gave it amazing low end torque but I don't recommend it as it burns through belts faster. With the extra washers it is aligned and runs smooth. I am very happy with it. The engine has to work less for all speeds, it can cruise at 15-20 mph just sipping gas and the power band is right there for hills or driving on the road with cars . Mine will get my 200+ lb body up to 40 mph with a straight pipe exhaust and no air filter but with the muffler and air filter it I get to about 37 and the governed engine won't give any more. I don't usually push it to the top speed but it's nice to have. It installed very easily and I have no experience with them and this was my first cvt purchase. I can't get the ring lock off it broke my ring clamp pliers so I haven't been able to test the driven pulley spring positions. All in all if you have good alignment with the rear sprocket and the pulleys set the correct axial positions I think this will last a while but I will keep you updated.

I recently installed the 212CC 6.5 HP torque converter kit on my Predator 212 minibike, and after a few weeks of testing, I’m impressed — it’s one of the best performance upgrades I’ve made for under $100. ⸻ First Impressions & Build Quality Straight out of the box, the kit looked well-machined and thoughtfully packaged. All the components — the driver pulley, driven pulley, belt, spacers, and bolts — came clean and smooth, with no obvious casting flashes, burrs, or defect edges. The aluminum surfaces have consistent finishes, and the pulleys spin freely without noticeable wobble. Everything was clearly labeled, and the parts matched the spec sheet provided. One thing I appreciated: the pulleys are anodized, which seems to protect them from corrosion and minor scratches. Even after a few ride tests, the surfaces are still bright and sharp. ⸻ Installation & Fitting I set aside an afternoon to install it, expecting a fair amount of custom work. Fortunately, the kit is mostly plug-and-play with only minor tweaks needed. • Backplate alignment: The backplate’s holes lined up almost perfectly with my stock engine block, needing only small adjustments, not full re-drilling. • Shimming and spacing: I used a feeler gauge to check runout and shim clearance. A few thin washers got the driver parallel to the crank and avoided belt rubbing. • Torque and securement: I used blue Loctite on the main shaft bolt and torqued it to spec. Everything held tight. • Belt path & guard clearance: I checked the path carefully and trimmed a bit off the inside lip of my engine cover so the belt wouldn’t rub. • Break-in: I ran the engine gently for the first 10 minutes, keeping throttle light, to let everything seat before doing full-throttle runs. By the time I was done, I felt confident in the mounting and clearance. No weird noises or binding. ⸻ Performance & Behavior Once I hit the throttle, the difference was obvious: • Smoother engagement: The torque converter transitions more gradually than a clutch — no sudden shocks or jolts. Launches feel more controlled. • Wider usable powerband: The engine feels more flexible at low RPM, with less bogging in tight turns or steep terrain. • Climb and load: On uphill sections with a passenger, the belt stayed solid without slipping. Even heavy load didn’t push it past its limits in normal terrain. • Top end behavior: At full throttle, the unit seems to shift out close to where I expect it to, giving a strong top-end feel without being overly aggressive. • Heat & longevity: After 30+ minutes of continuous riding, the pulleys were warm but not hot, and the belt didn’t smell burnt. Checked it afterwards and saw minimal wear — no glazing or edge cracking. Over multiple sessions, performance stayed consistent. No drift in belt alignment or slop in the pulleys. ⸻ Strengths, Weaknesses & Suggestions Strengths • Great value for what you get — drivers, driven, belt, hardware all included • Smooth, user-friendly operation with noticeable gains in low-end torque • Durable finish and minimal wear after regular use • Flexible enough for riders with intermediate mechanical skill (tweaking, shimming, etc.) Weaknesses / Watch-Outs • Some small adjustments might be needed (backplate alignment, cover clearances) • Belt tension and path must be precise — misalignment causes premature wear • Hardware quality is good, but I replaced a few bolts with stronger grade from my spare stash • Not a plug-and-play upgrade for absolute beginners; some mechanical knowledge helps Suggestions for best results 1. Use blue or red Loctite on all critical bolts. 2. Double-check belt alignment under load before final torqueing. 3. After first use, re-inspect alignment and tighten again as needed. 4. Keep spare belt and hardware in your tool kit — it gives peace of mind on long rides. ⸻ Final Verdict This 212CC 6.5 HP torque converter is an excellent upgrade for anyone wanting smoother acceleration, better hill-climbing, and more usable power in a small engine setup. While it’s not completely drop-in flawless (you’ll want to double-check alignment and make minor clearances), the results are well worth the effort. In value, performance, and durability, I’m giving this kit a 5-star rating, especially for intermediate DIY mechanics.

I’ve bought two of these to run on my custom mini bikes. I’ve had absolutely no issues with them. They seem to work great as long as you follow the instructions. Only giving 4 star because neither of them came with three belts like the listing states. Although I haven’t needed to replace a belt yet on either.

What an amazing product. Perfect for my Ct200uex (with a riser). I feel like most of the bad reviews are folks the installed it incorrectly. All the fasteners are left loose so you can swap the sprocket for a #35 chain, so check everything before your first ride. I'm really happy it came with American fasteners for predator engines. I literally bolted it together and it works perfectly even after several hours of mobbing the neighborhood. The belt seems to be mid, as after a few hours its looser and noticeably wearing. I ordered some 5959 belts because Google AI said they're interchangeable and the 5959 belt is more durable. So I recommend ordering some spare belts. You will need a riser plate if you're putting this in a minibike. My 224 predator minibike is pulling wheelies off the line and went from 36 to 49 phone tops speed. The clutch on the engine is noisy, that's probably my only real complaint. It's kinda "clacky" at idle, where as the super 30 "juggernaut" is quiet. But still for the money 10/10 recommend

Not impressed ! Didn't use for a month or so because we used it as a back up in the race trailer....then came its time to shine and 2 laps in the bearings on the sprocket end went bad !! Can't return obviously cuz it's past the window. And I was told and what I read it was a brand name product and so we then put a brand named converter on and went the rest of the day and still continue to have no bearing problems. So it's very blatantly. Obvious these bearings are cheap. Everything is tapped or died incorrectly? Very disappointed. I can understand if it was a little bit cheaper as well Sorry just giving you the cold hard facts.

In summary, there are significant safety issues with the 212CC Torque Converter. I installed the 212CC Torque Converter on a 6.5 hp 212 Predator engine (rear-mounted); all parts are used to power a metal-framed go-cart. The Torque Converter kit included all the parts needed to install the torque converter, but the kit also included additional bolts that were not even meant for any part of this installation (parts that did not even fit any aspect of the kit). The 212CC Torque Converter was installed fairly quickly, but the provided plastic cover had no place for the chain to pass-through it (a major oversight), meaning the plastic protective cover cannot be installed without cutting a hole in the plastic cover to fit the chain configuration. I installed and tested the 212CC Torque Converter without the cover to make sure it worked before cutting a chain hole in the plastic protective cover. After only a few minutes of running, the 212CC Torque Converter’s drive pulley totally and unexpectedly disintegrated, sending parts flying over a 100-yard radius. One part hit me in the arm with enough force to lead to significant bruise and pain (despite wearing a winter coat). I am so thankful that the flying parts did not hit my head! The drive pully disintegrated, even leading to the engine drive shaft threats being stripped. The drive shaft threads need to be retapped to work again. All but the brass washer was recovered, and it appears the disintegration started with the drive pully springs. The drive pully springs appear like they were forcefully pulled out of their connection leading to the pully flying apart. I cannot express how concerning the torque converter kit (drive pulley) failure is to me. A safety cover is meant to be used, but the safety cover cannot be mounted without cutting a chain hole in it. In summary, the drive pully seems poorly made, and the safety cover is certainly not made to cover any chain driven devices.

The packaging was very secure when I received the product. Upon opening it, I could see the workmanship was exquisite, with even welds and meticulous attention to detail, giving it a very solid feel. The installation technician also praised its quality and craftsmanship. The installation process went smoothly, without any issues like incorrect dimensions or unusual noises. After installation, I took it for a test drive. Gear shifts were incredibly smooth, with almost no jerking, acceleration was more linear, and the throttle response was significantly improved. Previously, I always felt a bit sluggish at low speeds, but now there's no slippage at all. After driving for a while, I noticed a slight decrease in fuel consumption, and the overall driving experience has improved dramatically.

Well it did what it was supposed to do it is also limited as to what it can do. After you purchasing decided to upgrade to a juggernaut but kept the original setup it works a lot better and is not governed like the torque converter in the kit is.

Exelente compra

I'm very happy with the kit but if you dont have some mechanical knowledge and problem solving ability it may be challenging depending on your install needs. I had to cut the plastic cover plate to clear my chain on Go Kart but that's no problem. Very good kit.wod buy again.

Perfecto!!!!!

This thing made my bt200x an absolute monster, the bike has a governor delete, heavier springs, a flywheel, a carb and an exhaust. It does 70, I would not recommend for a stock bike as it needs the higher rpms for it to really go fast. But if you plan to do a mild build like mine then I totally recommend, the only thing is the stock belt is bad and will get shredded in one or two rides. A good quality belt is only an extra 10 bucks or so, I think it's worth it and it's made the bike so much more fun to drive and I can explore places further away!

Hay que cortar la tapa de plástico para que pase la cadena , así como el tapón de aceite del.motor porque topa con la tapa del cvt .
