1981 ez go three wheeled golf cart driven clutch
 

i noticed today that my driven clutch doesn't have a bolt to hold it on, it just can slide off. i assume the belt would hold it from going out of alignment but i feel there should be something else there. This is my first cart and i bought it cheap so i wasn't expecting much.

There should be a bolt thru the center.I wouldn't run it without it,You may get a suprise you really won't like(ex..Clutch flying off and severing fuel-lines &/or batt. cables= dead-cart and FIRE!!)or at minimum a damaged shaft on the axle,requiring new axle,clutch or many parts.Remove the clutch and see if the bolt fell out or snapped off.Hope this helps.:thumbup:

hey thanks there's nothing in the shaft broken off so that's a good sign but does anyone have a picture of what the bolt should look like? and i was also wondering if it is something i can pick up at a hardware store or if its a specific part

Just a bolt and flat-washer if i remember right,if i get out back,i'll check.Or look thru the Manuals posted in the EZ-GO section of the BGW homepage.
