Maybe we could make this a sticky?

Re: Club Car Clutches: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
Yep! Wonder what else could be causing it then?

Re: Club Car Clutches: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
He's thinking that it's a combination of the heavy-duty rear leafs and the larger tires.

Re: Club Car Clutches: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
I have been having the same issues. I just purchased a new belt and the torque spring. I hope this gets the fix. I’ve been researching for days and can’t seem to find the answer. This is the closest that I have gotten.

Re: Club Car Clutches: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
So I've been doing some more research on drive clutches since I had to replace one in my 1990 DS. I bought a 1997+ clutch and just swapped the smaller s/g v-belt pulley onto the new clutch and it worked like a charm! Here's a video showing my swap:
After I made this video I was wondering if the smaller pulley that was on my original 1990 clutch was also used on the counterclockwise FE290 motors (1992-1996). I did an informal spot check of some golf carts in our campground. It seems that the drive clutches on all of the 1992-1996 carts I looked at have a s/g pulley that is the same exact diameter as the inner sheave (which sits right on top of the s/g pulley). This pulley is larger than the one on my original 1990 drive clutch. So from what I can tell, Club Car used the same exact drive clutch from 1988-2014 on their gas DS carts, but used three different s/g pulley sizes:
I'm still researching this information to confirm it. But it's already been established both in my video and elsewhere that you can buy a 1997+ drive clutch and use it in your pre-1997 gas Club Car as long as you swap the s/g pulley from your cart's original drive clutch. |

Re: Club Car Clutches: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
I just got confirmation from a member in a Club Car DS Facebook group that he retrofitted the s/g pulley from his old Salsbury clutch onto a 1997+ drive clutch and it worked out great. He has a 1987 Club Car.

Re: Club Car Clutches: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
I joined this forum a couple months ago when I bought a new to me 86 CC ds. I have the kf82 running pretty good now, and have added 3 leaf rear springs and rear flip seat.
The drive clutch faces are very worn on the outer third of the diameter, and am looking to replace it. Just looking for clarification of the last post on this thread. Can I just buy a clutch to fit a 88 and newer, and redrill/ swap on the s/g pulley and bolt it onto the engine?? My problem is I just can't find a replacement for the original clutch. Thanks for any input, Bob |
