Woe is me and my rearend!!!
Welllll, I may have got the EZ-GO before the horse. Having talked to the folks at EMP and decided what I wanted done to my motor I decided to go ahead and try to quieten a whine in rearend. A mechanic in maintenance at the golf course where I partime had ridden in my cart and told me I needed to fix the whine before I did anything. He told me to replace the input shaft assembly and that would take care of the whine. Well, I did it and now it whines worse than it did It's not as high a pitch as it was BUT it's pretty noisy.
Any of you guys had experience with this situation. Now my source of infinite wisdom tells me I need to pull axle assembly and change out all gears. Can gears be found elsewhere other than EZ- GO? I know it's going to be expensive but whats a man to do? Any ideas and/or advise sure would be comforting right about now. Thanks for reading this far! Larry |

I would have checked the bearing in the motor before I tore the rear end apart. And if that wasn't the issue, just replace the input shaft bearings.
But Roady's gears are much more fun!! |

Hard to imagine gears failing but anything could happen. I'd say its a bearing somewhere. Those gears are nearly bulletproof.

Re: Woe is me and my rearend!!!
Thanks for the replies and info guys. I put the old output shaft back in beings how it wasn't as noisy . I went ahead and updated to 4 ga. wire so I'll at least have that part done. I'm thick headed so I guess I need to figure out which direction to go on this rearend before I do anything else.
If anyone has an idea don't be afraid of insulting my intelegence or wreaking havoc on my ego. I'm open for suggestions Thanks, Larry |

Re: Woe is me and my rearend!!!
try taking all the oil out, and replace with half 10 w 30, and half lucas oil stabilizer......
sometimes it will eliminate those nasty noises... |
