2013 TXT Valor need crawling torque help

[bwgill37]

long time lurker, exhausted my search efforts. 2013 TXT Valor 13 hp Kaw with the factory option Team HD Clutches (purple spring driven) , I added a shorter/heavy duty belt, and turned up the governor to 3300. Still need more torque. EZ GO confirmed the Team clutch is NOT 28 degrees but per its advertisements delivers 40% more torque than stock. So by buying a 28 to I gain anything? I emailed Team to see if there was a 28 helix for it, no luck there, probably not talking to the right people. The "yellow" spring from Jakes was mentioned as an upgrade for this clutch (6222 Jake's Yamaha Power Spring Kit (Models G29/ DRIVE) but is listed as a yamaha part only. I emailed Jakes no response yet. I need to crawl around the property and tackle a few hills with bags of corn, no concern with top speed. I feel i am pretty close, maybe 30% more.. A new Ranger is $15,000 so we have some room to work here. Any suggestions/ confirmation of what will work? Torque-less in Texas.

I have no clue on the clutches.

Have you thought about a low gearing kit? They make high speed gear sets and lower gearing kits. Just a little more rare.
What is your stock ratio?

What size tires are you running? Can you go smaller without getting stuck?

running 20's on 10 inch rims, pretty small already but I appreciate the idea. The rear diff is a newer model and I can't find much on it regarding options, e.g. the conversion kits to limited slip apparently don't work on this. I'll explore that idea a bit more though, thank you

Another idea maybe an older axle with 15-1 gearing would fit up.
Cost a lot but maybe able to trade in your newer axle to a dealer.



Or vegas carts 460. 25hp 1200$ with install kit.

interesting option on the bigger motor....wheels spinning.... but hopefully someone with this cart/clutch comes through and can confirm what spring or helix is available.

anyone have this cart /clutch combo thats done anything to improve torque? EZGO TXT

Did you ever find any solutions to your problem? I have same cart with kaw 13HP. There doesn't appear to be a clutch spring avail for this model so very disappointed trying to find something to improve low end torque vs. Speed.

Golf Cart King has a high torque clutch spring for kaw 13HP for Rxv and txt 2008 and newer...might be worth $30 to try. Have you tried this?

I am right there with you guys. I have a 2015 TXT Valor, Running 20's and I am thinking of adding some more lift and adding 23's. I am worried about loosing all of my low end. I have not changed the governor from the stock setting but I am worried even that wont add the torque I will need. ???????????

I did find a solution, I called carts plus and the fella sent me the correct torque spring, that combined with a dayco shorter belt ( I can post the specs tomorrow) the thing is a tank. I had to use a franklin clutch puller to get the driven off but all good now.

I put in the G Boost Technology spring part number DREZ5 from Carts plus Parts, and Dayco XTX2274 belt. Pulls like a train. Note the driven is tapered not splined, adjust strategy accordingly.
