Default Running reverse as forward

I have a 1997 Club Car with a FE 290 blown engine.I have another fe290 out of a 1995 cart that is CCW rotation.The engine has been bored to .50mm and .025 has been milled off the head,timing advance key,and K&N filter.What kind of performance can I expect with driving in the lower reverse gear?

Thanks,Glenn

You wont be happy with it. I would just keep an eye out for an CW FE350.

Agreed. It stinks. And reverse is fast enough to be dangerous.

I also don't think the lubrication would be satisfactory running in reverse continuously. The gears are cut to ride the oil up in the forward direction.

We'll find out my clones going in my cart soon and I'm running reverse as forward numerous people said it's completly fine just a lower gear but you can always throw hs gears in but I'm excited for the low gearing I do a lot of crawling

If I remember correctly,they are 12.5:1 in Forward,17:1 in Reverse.Speed will drop drastically,but crawling-torque will go thru the roof!

I'm probly throwing 8.1 gears in it to fix that. I don't understand why everyone freaks out if reverse goes faster , it only goes as fast as you give It the throttle.

Excuse me.....but isn't reverse made to go backwards slow, and the drive gears (you know, 1,2,3, etc) made to go forward fast...or faster?

.......just sayin.....

The new cc has to be ran backwards unless you make a jack shaft

I see there's a CCW Club Car transaxle for sale in the sale section. It's in VA, so if you're close that might be worth talking a look at.
