Default Pull uphill

Our Club car DS has a hard time pulling uphill in forward but, does fine in reverse. Thoughts?

Different gear ratios for forward and reverse. You should notice that you cant go as fast in reverse as forward.

I had the same problem especially after I added the quite heavy Curtis Cab. I sometimes also had a problem of belt slippage on hills. A heavy duty clutch spring and a new heavy duty belt solved the slippage issue but hill climbing is still slower than I would prefer - but better than before the clutch upgrade and new HD belt.

I think it's the old horsepower to weight ratio thing.
