I cleaned up clutch with break clean and area. Took cover off front primary clutch and cleaned it up as well. Back to normal.

Even one pump over time creates mess, cause old grease get pushed out and slung around. Now dirt blown from street get stuck and creates mess. I will be greasing those clutches once year and clean up after the old grease get slung around from now on.
The interesting thing about this, is this should be done by the servicing body. 98 pecent dont do it during a service and over time can create a failure. But as most things in the golf car industry, no body knows.
