Re: G29 Clutch - Plowsman - Comet - Gboost
Wow.. How about Major Richard? That better? If you want to help with valid information with something to back it up please do but if you continue to answer with random short answers that sound like nothing but attitude you won’t last long here.

It's like when you build a torque converter for a drag car. They don't just say, "Here, use this one, it's great". They need lots of information like: engine horsepower, peak engine torque, operating engine RPM, transmission gear ratios, shift points, max Rpm, weight of vehicle, rear gear, tire size, etc...(I'm probably missing a few too). Unless you talk to someone who knows exactly what you have (engine, drive clutch, belt, driven clutch, spring, tire size, rear gear, how you want it to shift) you may end up very unhappy with the performance of your new comet clutch. I'm not saying nobody is running a Comet clutch with their stock engine, or that it can't be tuned to work. I'm saying you don't need all that hassle when all you want is a good working clutch. Don Plowman has tested clutches on Yamaha golf cart engines for decades. He knows from years of trial and error, and testing, what works and what doesn't. Call him and ask. I'll bet anybody dollars to doughnuts he doesn't recommend the Comet Clutch for this application. |

Re: G29 Clutch - Plowsman - Comet - Gboost
edit...unnecessary
I would first see what parts you need for the stock clutch, or find out if its worn out, etc. You might put rollers in it or something and its fine. Most people do change clutches either when they swap engine or when the cart is ancient and old clutch is not serviceable. Some team clutches had recalls, others here know more about those and what is compatible with them. Last edited by TheNewGuy; 10-11-2017 at 11:16 AM.. Reason: TNG |

Re: G29 Clutch - Plowsman - Comet - Gboost
Yes, it is. I'm sorry my short answers came across as "attitude". I was in a hurry. I don't believe that means members should use profanity towards me. I'm fairly certain it's in the rules somewhere around here. Sorry and thank you.

Re: G29 Clutch - Plowsman - Comet - Gboost
The OP brought up Plowman's, not me. It's right there in the title of the thread. Is it bad advice to have him call a guy who is widely regarded as an expert to see what he thinks?
Excellent advice also. Much more reasonable than jumping right into a Comet clutch with not enough information. |

Re: G29 Clutch - Plowsman - Comet - Gboost
I wouldn't say a comet is a clutch to avoid, but they are not the optimal tool for a stock cart/ engine. I think you would be better off with fixing your clutch, or buying a new clutch from don in your case.

Re: G29 Clutch - Plowsman - Comet - Gboost
The one at CPP is super!!!
By the way avoid any other, chinese stuff, including GolfCartKing and DIY Golf cart... real craps ! At the same time, check if you need a new belt and possibly your secondary clutch (shoes, spacer, etc...). |

I just looked up symptoms of a bad clutch and thought I had one. Jerking taking off, it will literally pull the wheels of the ground sometimes and I have barely any power to climb even the smallest hills without it bogging down. Also what is with some people running a g22 clutch on a g29? |
