Here's the deal. The bolt that holds the clutch broke off inside the input shaft(gas ezgo).I got a hole started and when turning thr ez out I must have got it in the wrong position and it b roker off. I have tried everything and even ordered a special solid carbide drill bit and nothing will drill it. Pulled the unit and put it on bench but that doesn't help. Jim

Not sure without seeing your problem, but sometimes I weld a bolt on to the stub & then able to remove broken bolt. Sometimes just the heat from welding will be enough to get it loose

Grassman, you can take a die grinder and cut a slot(go slow and brace your hand steady)
across the end of the shaft and the bolt and the ez out.
soak the bolt for a day and use an impact screw driver to back the bolt out.
This is a ugly bottom 40 acres repair but it will get you ready for the next race.

Had to send rearend to a welder. Luckily I know na guy who has worked in oil fields for 35 years and knows the good guys. He said he could blow the bolt out of the shaft. I am really pleased with the response I received. I most definitely come back.
Originally the bolt came out of clutch and apparently I did not notice right away. So the clutch wobbled on the input shaft and ruined the spline in the clutch. When I reinstalled it wobbled and broke bolt. I will pay more attention in the future.

Got the trans back and looks great. Guy blew everything out of shaft and re tapped. Bolt fits perfectly. Cost me 30 bucka as opposed to 350 for a new input shaft.
I think I nam going to upgrade the mounting bolt from a five to a eight. any thought on that? And I read here to use 30W non detergent in trans. Where I live the weather is always warm. I'd like to put a heavier oil in. Any thoughts on that? Thanks. Jim

5 should be heavy enough... Just make sure it is tight/ not over-tight... 30w oil is good enough if you want to upgrade go synthetic not heavier in my opinion...... Glad we could help you save some $
