It depends the early clutch is better but they stopped making them. They are cast alum, the later ones have a big stamped metal gold-ish looking cover. You can shim the spring in the early one the later has none. Either way cleaning and lubing the clutches and a new belt is the best you can do otherwise. Belts that wear to the 1" are ok on a stock cart but terrible on lifted carts. Also check the motor mounts if the motor moves towards the trans under power it will hurt takeoff and hill climbing, you can tell the motor slows down. If the muffler is plugged it will have less power.
