Welcome to the forums. :)
I should have all the parts you will need.
I have some used cases in great shape.
Tell the lad that he will be rolling soon. :)

thanks for the welcome that was a quick response :) i have managed to get the cases already there in good shape i can get the bearings and seals from a local shop i just need the rollers and the clutch shoes would you recomend changing anything else if you can help that would be great
cheers ste

p.s i did messege you about 1/2 wekeks ago.

so can anyone point me where i can get some lt 80 roller and clutch shoes
cheers

If you have Suzuki dealers over there, that's where. I'm sure it'd be cheaper than sending the parts over.
There are no aftermarket clutch parts.
If you have no access to parts, I have new rollers and I think I have a used set of rear clutchs.

i have managed to get the new clutch shoe assembly and i got 4 new rollers aswell as people say only to put 4 in which 2 slots do i leave empty or is it any.?
my new gasket set came today so im just waiting for the shoes and rollers and away i go

so all my parts have landed i can get the little mans quad going again can anyone tell me which 2 roller slots should i leave empty or is it any as soon as i know i can start the rebuild process
cheers ste

Empty space across from the other.
It'll be self explanitory once your in there. :)

cheers lt80,
i have open the roller case and its full of grease im suprised the rollers can even move and it looks like 2 are in the wrong way i will get a pic up so you can see do i need to grease the new ones when i put them in
cheers

Cheers back..:)
The grease gets hard as a rock and does limit the roller travel to the point of ruining the variator and the roller plate.
I use a dab of grease to hold the roller in place durring installation. It's not needed for lubrication. Suzuki finally figured out that the grease wasn't needed and didn't use any in the last cpl years that they made them.
FYI: the rollers flip when you pull on the variator to get it off.
