94 DS Club Car Rear End Oil Change

MPH4U · 06-19-2012, 05:41 PM

I have a gas 94DS Club Car and need to change the rear end oil.
Anyone had experience doing this and what is the procedure?

Thanks,

Mike

I just changed mine in my 88, there are two locations to change and upper and a lower Unit. You will need about a quart for each. The lower takes 80/90 and the upper takes straight 30 weight oil.

I found this link when i searched google for it... it helped a ton.

I'm pretty sure your 88 is the same as my buddies 94, so here you go...

There should be 2 units (upper and lower) to check, and change your fluid,
a guy on "another" forum said to use 30W motor oil in the top unit, and 80W-90 gear lube in the lower unit,

But, on my buddies cart, we used 80W-90 gear lube in both...
(come to find out, they're pretty close to the same thing!)

The top bolt is to check, and fill... and the bottom bolt is to drain the fluid...
on both upper, and lower units

here's a pic for a newer style (unitized) transaxle, but the idea is the same (X2)

On the top case the bolts will be on the passenger side:

And on the bottom case, the bolts will be on the drivers side:

On an 88, I suggest changing (not just checking) the gear oil in both units!
(especially, with that big engine you just put in!)

from across the pond!

VERY cool Cmoney, thank you!

I saw this thread this morning and did a search for that thread... and the heck if I could find it!
I was ready to repost everything again, but now I don't have too!

Thanks guys for your help. I bought it two years ago and have not changed the rear end oil. The wife and I use it on a limited basis when we go to the Suwannee river in North Fla.

Its an easy job, getting the oil back in out is a tricky deal, get a pump from wal mart, makes it easy!

Good idea, Thanks

Yeah... I messed up my Photo Bucket account and the pics were removed!

On a pre-96, they have a 2 part transaxle,

Here's the fill and drain plug on the upper unit: (passenger side)

And the lower unit: (drivers side)

Post-96 have a "unitized" transaxle:

And just in case I screw up again... in the same succession via attached thumbnails:
