This is a link to a story done in an online news source yesterday.
In the article it was stated that the detective had to pay $225 for a TEAM clutch. I also had to go this route with my 2013 Yamaha EFI that I purchased from C & C in Ocala. This was after C & C replaced the original clutch with one that was the same that came with the cart.They also put a "better" belt on the new clutch and this was supposed to solve the problem but it didn't.Not until I paid them for the TEAM clutch did my problem get resolved.
I am also curious if this is only happening with C& C carts or is the problem also with The Villages cart . I know a few folks that told me the Villages has replaced their clutch & belt at no cost to them.I believe this was done but I don't believe the Villages has installed a TEAM clutch in these carts.
Yamaha will not back the warranty because of the 10 inch wheels & high speed gears installed aftermarket in these carts.I tried everything to get them to back it, or have C & C back it to no avail. I went to the Crimes against seniors, talked to the attorney general's office & the better business bureau all to no avail.$225 didn't put me in the poor farm but I sure felt like someone beside me should have paid.[/QUOTE
The Villages golf cart replaced ours once. The mechanic got on the phone and gave us a talking to about turning the screw to get ours to go faster. Said they would fix it one time only. After that they would charge us $1500 to fix it again if we speeded the cart back up. He then adjusted our speed back down to 18 mph on a flat surface, floored. Could hardly get up a hill after that so hubby adjusted it back up to 22, floored which gets us going about 19-20 most of the time. Since we are now out of warranty we will just take our chances. It's been about a year and so far so good.
