EZ GO workhorse 02 ST350 clutch slipping

solartechmaxx · 07-20-2009, 05:58 PM

First of all my apololies for posting in the introI have a 02 ezgo workhorse st350 and the clutch seems to be slipping in and out, even though everything looks allright it makes a squeaking sound if put in nuetral and drifted down a hill like something is really tight! Belt has been replaced and no help. Can I rebuild this clutch? Can parts be found to rebuild? It does squeeze the belt as rpms go up and rides in the higher part of the clutch. Can anyone Help, not much money but I have a lot of time and I am a car mechanic which should help me a bit. Thanks, Maxx

I don't know what is squealing in your clutch but i do know that both clutches are rebuildable .... Call CPP from our sponsor list and ask them about your clutch parts. They can help

Thanks Scotty, but first I need to locate the problem. Is there is 2 cluthes on this cart? I can get it to move but its slipping and grabbing slipping and grabbing and never fully engaged. If 2 people got on it I cant even get it to move. And the free roll squeaking does the same, slipping and grabbing, any ideas

like crash said, no biggy. sounds like the weights inside are hanging up

how do I go about taking it apart and checking the weights, would that cause slipping?

Be sure the belt is in good condition while inspecting. That will slip and squeal.

Belt was first thing I bought, its brand new. feels like something sticking inside. Only squeals when in neutral and Im drifting and its like the brakes are half on but brakes are all fine. I havent takinen the clutch apart yet, not sure how or whats in it, does anyone have a diagram of the inside of the clutch and how to take apart? Thanks Maxx

Crash, you said to check CCP for parts, I cant seem to find them, do you have a number? Thanks again, Maxx
