Something is slipping
on my 2004 club car ds something is slipping when I take off at full speed.
If I mash the pedal slowly it seems to run fine. if I mash the pedal hard, something in the rear is slipping BUT it doesn't sound like metal. I also smelled something like rubber. any help would be great. I have no idea about these carts. please help. Last edited by ROOKEE; 04-29-2014 at 01:49 PM.. Reason: worded wrong |

Would "chattering" be an acceptable term? |

Re: Something is slipping
the cart will not go if I mash the pedal all the way. the motor sounds like its turning but will not move the cart. but if I take off slowly it works fine

Re: Something is slipping
there is no chattering, its doesn't sound like metal grinding, its more of a jerking shaking sound around the motor.

Re: Something is slipping
Rear end gears? Maybe secure cart jack up rear end get a buddy to hold tire on one end you on the other and turn them by hand, listen and describe for us what it does? Can you take a video of this and post?

Re: Something is slipping
Welcome to BGW. How old are the batteries, whats the pack volts? and each battery volts ?, when is the last time you charged the cart before you drove it? what make batteries do you have?, how often do you charge it? how low/volts do you run the battery pack down before you charge?

Re: Something is slipping
Jerking works.... that's what I was describing. It's a sign of low voltage. That's why it doesn't happen when you slowly increase throttle. A sudden drop of voltage such as when you push the pedal to the floor is too much for the battery pack to handle and it causes the jerking you're describing. Take a voltage reading of the entire battery pack with a multimeter.
