Default rear end growling

Just got back from a trip around the block,the rear end always had a growl to it,but upon returning the growl changed to a vibration.I stopped the cart,pressed the accelorator to take off and heard heavy grinding under the seat I looked underneath to find I lost some plastic thingys on the sec clutch! I also don't remember those hubs being so far apart.
I pushed the ouside sheave in with a 2X4 and noticed the threads were worn on the shaft and the washer was dished shaped .Is this normal?
sorry for the blurry pics

Not Normal.... That is a completely destroyed driven clutch ..... Do not try to drive it .... You need a new one.

What parts do I need?Can you buy everything in a kit? Should I just buy a performance clutch?
I can probably buy a used assembly,is this wise?
I"m not hillclimbing or anything,just want a campground shuttle.

A used driven clutch would probably serve the need It is all in one piece ...

Here is a place to get parts.

I am new to the golf cart seen and I was looking at your pics and I have the same cart. It looks like your shoe ramps are gone it also looks like the threaded shaft is bent. The shaft could most likely be straightened.

I think I am going to get some extra shoe ramps and keep them on hand and replace them ever so often. Could someone tell me what will make a clutch last longer??? I would guess proper belt tension and keeping good shoe ramps on it but would like to here from a pro.

Thanks,
Joe

Time for some new parts and secondary work! I would say the "circlip" came out of the input shaft groove. I would buy a "spacer" replaces the circlip, new 'ramp shoes" for the "spring seat", new "ramp shoes for the "sliding sheave" and a new bushing for the sliding sheave or better yet get a jn6-g6270-01-kt sliding sheave assy with a "zerk fitting. Then you can grease the clutch without taking it apart. Dave
