Most of the carts you see going by over 20 mph are PTVs (but not all). The gear replacement is worth considering if one plans to keep the cart several years.

OP, I bought mine as a PTV so I don't have any useful info on cost to do this.
Let’s see $325 for gear and how much for labor? I bet it’s way over 325 for cracking transaxle open? For 2 or 3 mph I’d just adjust governor (which what it’s for to control speed) but that me. 25 is illegal unless plans on licensing it. I could make mine go 30 but I won’t do it.

Too bad deputy’s don’t do their jobs and ticket golf carts in diamond lanes exceeding 22 plus mph.
