TXT Shifter is Very Stiff

srv010

I have a 1999 TXT that the shifter is extreamly hard to opperate. My mother in law uses this cart daily. I sprayed some litheam grease on the brass posts that make the conection and it seams to be a little easyer, but it didn't last. Do you think electric silicone grease will work better? Thanks for you help!

Sir Nuke

considering how short the shifter is.... its really doesn't take much to make it hard to operate. one thing you might want to consider is a different shifter. here are two I found.

The Caddy Shift

Check this out for Gramma -
This reversing contactor conversion kit will change your shifter to an easy to use rocker switch for directional selection. Go Here > http://www.cartsunlimited.net/Reversing_Contactors.html

For you it costs just $5 more than a standard HD Ezgo F&R.
It replaces the hard to shift Rotary switch, lever and rods.
It is ergonomically correct. (easier to reach and operate)
Get positive shifting at the push of a button with the hard push & grind of a 1940s type rotary switch!

Gramma will love ya

Scotty, is there a pic somewhere of the HD Reversing Contactor installed in an EZ-Go TXT Series cart utilizing the OEM F/R bracket? I gotta do this upgrade soon!

In my cel phone LOL
G - pm me, we will get this moving.
PS your hopped up Ezgo will require the Superduty Contactor which does not fit on the stock bracket but - comes with it's own bracket (shown above) that bolts into the OEM bracket holes. SD contactor requires 3/8th cable lugs.

I'm only running a 400 amp Alltrax. Are you saying SD because of my custom PQ motor?

scottyb

Yes and I know you race it - so ....

gornoman

In for a penny.......

ScottyB, I like the idea of the converting it to rocker switch set up. Do you have a pic of it installed in a txt? P.s. I ordered some cables from you for my 09 precedent.

scottyb

Somebody posted pics of one installed here ....... not sure where?
Not much to see - just imagine your old F&R gone and a shiny new reversing contactor in it's place.

I found one but it's not very flattering...
