Could also be the differential gears. They can whine more in one direction than the other.

The F/R switch on the dash, probably makes it a PDS, so what PDS mode are you running in and is it a stock or aftermarket controller?

It may be a worn input shaft

Input shaft is installed in the differential. The motor spins on one end of the shaft and the gears on the other... it is replaceable by removing the motor.

If the controller has a Mild Hill or Steep Hill Plug installed in J2, it has regen braking, other wise it doesn't.

If you pull the plug out of J2, it puts it into All-Terrain or Golf mode and has no regen braking.

Be sure to put Run/Tow switch into Tow before pulling the J1 plugh (or disconnect/connecting anything electrical on cart)

I think 2003 was the last year of dash tags. After that they used a decal on the frame under the seat just behind the batteries.
