Default 82 G1 starting to clunk

Hello everyone. New to the forum. I have a 82 G1 that is in great shape and was running great until the other day. While the kids were riding it it started to get a clunking sound but it does not do it all the time. I have tried to find it but I don't know if it is coming from the engine or the trans. has anyone had this problem?

Thanks Calvin

I'm not really sure...I use a tube of white lithuim grease on mine that I got from harbor frieght. I think greasing the shaft is really the important thing the plastic shoes are meant to absorb the wear,provide a smoother closing action by preventing metal rubbing against metal (which would clank without them).

After looking at the clutch I found that the three shoes on the one side of the clutch ramp had broke off and I have ordered them to see if this would solve the problem. thanks

Thanks Augiedoggy, are you supposed to just rub a gob of grease on the shaft?
Racinghauler, where did you buy the shoes from?
Thanks again fellows, sorry about all the dumb questions, my old G1 is the first cart I ever had and just would like to do things right the first time.
