Driven Clutch Making Noise
I have a 1994 CC DS that the driven clutch (back pulley by differential) makes a loud noise (not grinding noise but similar).
It only makes the noise when it is in gear and I give it half to full throttle, if I putt around it is fine because the clutch is closed, when it begins to open it makes the noise. If I put it in neutral and give it gas it does not make the noise when it opens. I just bought the cart as is and the driven clutch looks new with a purple spring. Any suggestions where to start? |

Re: Driven Clutch Making Noise
I took the belt off and the driven clutch and everything seems to be OK.
The shaft the clutch is on seem to have no play. The noise starts when the clutch opens up and the belt tightens down. The noise does not sound like metal on metal, sounds more like the belt grinding inside the clutch. Also it is very hard to shift while the engine is running, but normal when it is turned off. It has the type of engine that turns on like a car and runs all the time. |

Re: Driven Clutch Making Noise
i have the same noise in my clubcar. turns out the driven clutch shaft in the clutch itself has worn out and is smaller so that when the clutch opens it becomes loose and wiggles on the shaft making a loud rattling noise. i highly doubt its fixable. you can get a new one for 200$ on ebay or live with it. also i put a power spring in that is more stiff and it doesnt let the clutch open far enough to make the noise. alltho the cart didnt go as fast as it did with the stock spring.
