2004 PDS drive train issue
Good morning all!
Been a while since i have been on here. Took a drive in my cart the other day, and it slowly lost forward momentum! I can hear the motor turning, but no go! Just wondering if this is something i can fix, or if i need to take it to the shop. Thanks. |

Re: 2004 DCS drive train issue
Check the rear hubs. EZGOs, gas or electric, have a bad habit of stripping out the brake drum / hub splines where it meets the axle shaft

Re: 2004 DCS drive train issue
Pretty sure it is not the batteries, just replaced them 4 months ago. It appears that what ever the motor is turning-is stripped. Motor turns good, it is not engaging the drive system. I will charge and check the volts anyway. Thanks for the help!

Re: 2004 DCS drive train issue
If you can hear it turning and not moving, here's another vote for a stripped hub.

Re: 2004 DCS drive train issue
Well, it is not the brake drums. Both axles spin freely when turned by hand, and they also turn when you hit the accelerator.
Anybody know where i can get a schematic of the drive train? Thanks! |

Spinning the axles by hand won't tell you if the drum is stripped and this is a very common failure point. |

Re: 2004 DCS drive train issue
Pull the rear brake drums off, them look at the part that slides onto the axle.
No splines, it’s striped and that’s the problem. Another vote for striped splines in drum. Repair manuals are in stickies here 😊 |
