Default Hits Hard?

Bought another TXT today, had about 12 so far but this is the first one I had that when you step on the gas the clutch engages fast and hard, almost like shifting from forward to reverse, any ideas?

What year is the cart??? EZGO had some late 2003, early 2004 TXT gassers that had the wrong weights/springs in the drive clutch, they had a late harsh engagement.. My '04 had one, it would give ya a case of whiplash when it slammed into gear..

Would a 28 clutch fix this problem, and give it a little extra on the hills, or is it better to just fix the clutch?

Throw the clutch on the trash and get a new drive clutch.

A 28 degree is the driven clutch - Stove's problem is the drive clutch.

Yes a 28 would help all around, though
