Here are the Clutch-Pics.It's important that the shims go against the spider and not the cover,there is a groove in the cover to locate the spring and keep it from moving around.As i posted earlier,I have been running 1 shim @ 3/16" for the past 2 seasons and have been very happy with the results.A few weeks ago I added another shim which doubled the thickness,and it seems to have more low-end.I want to try more shims as soon as I get some free-time().Hope the pics help.

Not sure on the Medalist,Look into it a little,or open it up and if it is a spring-style clutch,it will work.

If you have a comet duster clutch it will not work. I tried it and the clutch would not engage all the way. You will have to get a stiffer spring or different pucks to make a difference.

There is an earlier version that was a stock-replacement thru the dealers.Its' a Comet made for Ez-Go.This is the one I am not sure about.I know the Duster is set up differently.

both of these came off of 89s. we are using the black one, and the insides are just like yours. i think the comet is similar, but forget. as to sourcing the washers, most spring shops should have these? anywhere on line? thx

My clutch looks like the one in the middle on madoc1'es last post #28 do you have any experience with that one?

No I don't know much about that style,I've only used the Early-Style.I'll see what I can find out.As Far as the shims,You can use regular Flat-Washers,these just fit very good and are thicker than normal washers.I can get the washers and ship them if anyone wants them.They are $1.75 each.Just have to make sure we don't upset the higher-ups,maybe a moderator can give us an ok or a no-way to announce these for sale?
