PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture an endless metal belt capable of reducing emission of striking sounds generated from elements and a pulley, by admitting dispersion of the dimensions from lot to lot at the time of manufacture. SOLUTION: The manufacturing method for the endless metal belt used in a continuously variable transmission is configured so that the elements with the two side faces across the width contacted with a sheave surface are laid in the direction across the plate thickness and threaded through a ring-shaped ring, wherein the procedure comprises a measuring step to measure the adjoining difference of the saddle height in the elements and a decision step to decide the combination of elements so that the distribution of the adjoining difference of the saddle height in a plurality of elements used in one endless metal belt lies within the predetermined allowable range and becomes flat.
