new 28 degree driven clutch

[98ezgo]

yesterday i ordered a new 28 degree driven clutch so i will have more torque on my 1998 1200 workhorse. is there anything i need to know to help replace it. it now has a 36 degree on it. i found that number stamped on the back side near the rear end housing on the outter edge. i got the kit with a severe duty belt for 240.00.

Its probably to late but you can just change the helix and ramps in your 36 clutch with 28 deg ramps and helix for a lot less. I just did it in my ez-go orderd the parts from carts parts plus. I think it was around $60.00. My clutch was a pain to get off I had to lean the cart on its side fill the whole with pb blaster and let it sit. Then build a steel puller to get it off

thanks, i was going to do this but, it has a lot of wear were the belt rides. i just got the new clutch yesterday and hope to get it put on today and seats covered this week end

got the clutch put on today after 7 hours of blowing leaves. took the bolt out and who ever had it off last time was smart enough to put anti-sieze on the shaft. it slid right off with no trouble. I put the new one on with the belt that came with it then I sit a board on it because the seat is laying here in the floor waiting for me to recover it. i took it for a test ride and it climbs the hill from the field to the house and up the steep drive way so much better with plenty of torque.

here is the new 28 degree driven clutch. can you put a shorter belt on it and make it work even better then it does with the severe duty belt

How much shorter a belt does one need to increase power and not lose top end?
I just pt a new stock belt on mine and it really helped, however is still lacking power to go up steep hills without a running start.

I think there's a sticky somewhere that give belt lengths, but 1" shorter should hook you up.
