2008 EZGO TXT Noise from rear when off the gas
Hello BGW, I just bought an old EZgo TXT series style cart (2008 ). I am getting a noise from the rear of the cart and it seems to only be when i let off of the gas. During acceleration i dont get any noise, but this is on deceleration and it is pretty loud. The first thing i did was pull the cover off of the diff to see if it had oil in it and it did. I dont see anything wrong with the diff, although i am not sure what i am looking at honestly. No stripped gears or anything that i can tell. The second thing i did was pull the motor to check the input shaft for play. The shaft itself did not have any significant play and the motor coupling looks good from what i can tell. anything else i need to check? i took a few videos of the noise. I took one video of the noise and another of the old motor that seems to have alot of play. does the motor play seem too much? any help is appreciated!!!

Re: 2008 EZGO TXT Noise from rear when off the gas
here are pics of the input shaft and motor coupler, do they look worn enough to cause these issues?

Re: 2008 EZGO TXT Noise from rear when off the gas
Since you already pulled the motor,I would change the coupling.
Noise change when you make a turn when driving? Next thing to check would be rear axle bearings but typically a”noise when decelerating “ is not a normal symptom. Jack up rear of cart and check for movement by grabbing wheels checking for in/out or up/down play. |

Re: 2008 EZGO TXT Noise from rear when off the gas
Well I went ahead and put the cart back together because I am planning on getting a new motor soon anyways. I checked pretty
Much everything I could for excessive play (wheel bearings, input shaft) and everything seems fine. So I went ahead and put 80 weight gear oil in the rear end and buttoned it back up. Funny because the noise is much quieter now. I am wondering if it was the rear end and needed fluid. Anyways thank you for the help ! I know if it is a motor bearing or something that it will go away when I get the new motor which is coming very soon. |

Re: 2008 EZGO TXT Noise from rear when off the gas
thanks JohnnyB, is this something that is easily replaceable? I just bought a new controller for the cart and planned on using it for a bit (Alltrax Con SR400) with the stock motor and then I am going to upgrade the motor. I could replace it then if it will last that long!
