Transmission is Grinding
I have an electric 2004 EZ-GO. When I flip the switch to go forward or reverse, I hear a grinding noise. The golf cart won't move at all. I have had it for around 6 months and don't know much about them. Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix it? Thanks

Re: Transmission is Grinding
Is the motor making a noise? As if the motor is running, but the cart isn't moving? And welcome to BGW!!!!!!

Re: Transmission is Grinding
Welcome to BGW
sounds like a striped brake hub, you have to be able to see the castle nut in the middle of your rear wheels, if you have a center cap covering the nut, you need to remove it, when you can see the castle nut holding the hub on the axle, --- this will take two people to do, one of you put your foot on the brake and push the go pedal easy, JUST for a second, and the other needs to see if the NUT in the middle of the wheel is spinning, and the wheel is not, start with the driver side, but check both , this is a common problem with ezgo, let us know what you find, its a easy fix if this is your problem. |

Re: Transmission is Grinding
Thanks for the information. I will work on it today and keep you posted. Will there be any parts that I would have to buy? If it is doing what you say, what will be my next step.
BTW, everywhere I searched, I was told that this would be the site for information on 'HOW TO", thanks for your help. |

Re: Transmission is Grinding
If it is a drive train problem, as we suspect, you will need a brake drum for the side that has failed, and possibly a rear axle shaft. The brake drum is built to be sacrificial, so hopefully all you would need is a brake drum. See our sponsors for it.

Re: Transmission is Grinding
Hey,you hit the nail on the head!! I just tried what you told me to do, I took the center piece off, and noticed that the center nut is spinning but the wheels are not. What will I have to do now? Will it be expensive to fix. Thanks for all the help.
