Motor "clanking"
Hey everyone - first post, been lurking for a while.
Anyway, I have a 1999 Club Car 48v. There is a horrible noise coming from the motor area. Its sort of a clanking sound. It does it in reverse, in forward and when coasting (even if I pop it in N when coasting). If im going down a hill, it will make the noise. When i start to go back up, and give it gas, the noise will go away, until i get towards the top of the hill, then it returns. I have read several threads but havent seemed to find anything solid. I have asked elsewhere, with no solid info. Someone mentioned a "$20 kit", but that was it. Figured I would abandon ship and try to get some real info here. Anyone ever heard of this? |

Re: Motor "clanking"
Sounds like you need to replace the motor to differential input shaft GUIDE RING #101789101, RETAINER RING #101822801 and use adhesive #101813202?
This keeps armature lined up with differential input shaft because there is no bearing holding up armature at that end. |

Re: Motor "clanking"
Thanks!! Ill look in to that. I guess I should have stated that my motor is a GE D380. Not sure if that changes anything but just wanted you guys to know. I just bought this cart (my first) for $175 and had to put batteries in it. This clanking has me worried that I am in over my head now though.

Re: Motor "clanking"
Thanks for that part number!!!! Can you confirm it will fit the GE motor, as I understand this motor didnt originally come in this cart....

Re: Motor "clanking"
It should work as far as I can tell as GE motors were used on later models and work with earlier models?

" fitting a motor bumper ring to a 1999 DS " read the whole thread, it should give you some useful info. It certainly worked on the cart that I was sorting out. |
