Driven clutch I think is past the point of no return

I have an 89' Marathon 2 cycle cart. This weekend at the camp ground the kids said that cart is making a strange noise for "a while".

So I go to look at it and the driven clutch bolt had came out and was loose. I was relieved at that point as I have been dealing with this issue lately anyway. So I tightened it back up and took off around the loop. About a quarter of the way around it started to grind real bad and stopped moving. I new what had happened at that point and yes I was correct. The driven clutch splines are now a thing of the past. So, after looking around it looks as though as you can't replace that part of the clutch. Is this true or is there replacements out there? The input shaft splines on the rear end look to be OK still so I think my issues is just in the driven clutch.

I think you are correct on no parts for that. I have seen none to date. Only things you can get are ramp, buttons and springs with a clip ring but that is all I can find. I am afraid you are in need of a new unit. Lucky though as mine is a 91 and they are higher in price than yours.
Possible to find a used one but heck, I would go new if you intend on keeping the cart for a long time.

I was afraid a new clutch was in my future. Unless I can find a used one and rebuild it.
