87 Club car drive clutch
I have an 87 club car that i need to replace the drive clutch on. I have saw some people talk about using clutches off newer models. I was wondering if this is true and if so what year ranges would be compatible with my cart
The only reason i am asking is i would like to find a used clutch to save some money and haven't been able to source one yet and am trying to open up my search options. |

Re: 87 Club car drive clutch
I replied in the classified section, but in case you don't see it, you are stuck finding a '84 to '87 replacement clutch, but I don't know of anywhere that still makes or sells drive clutches for '84 to '87. I also haven't seen replacement parts for '84 to '87 drive clutches. This forces you to replace both clutches to newer styles. It will upgrade you to a 1" belt drive so you will need a new 1" belt.
Its a strange situation, you need a drive clutch and my driveN clutch has been giving me problems. One of us could get a working set while the other would need to upgrade. (Update): It looks like you don't have enough posts yet for private messages. I've been having shift issues which I believe is my driveN (transmission) clutch. I believe my drive clutch is still in good working condition (its spotless on the outside at least). I ordered parts to rebuild my driveN clutch and then I'll be able to confirm if my drive clutch is good. I'd be willing to trade my '84 drive clutch for a used newer style drive clutch, or possibly just sell it. We could work out the finer details of a trade or sale once you get enough posts for private messaging. |

Here's a photo illustrating the clutch mismatch (when I made the photo I didn't realize that same clutches fit all the way up to 1996). This would be the flip side of the issue you would have (as you may be using a newer drive clutch/older driven clutch), but the issue is the same either way: |

Re: 87 Club car drive clutch
Thanks for the feedback guys. So it sounds like I will need to get a newer drive and driven clutch and belt to get this thing going.

Re: 87 Club car drive clutch
That would be my recommendation. Check eBay, sometimes you'll find good used stuff for a fraction of the price of new.
