Sounds like the modifications also need clutch modified. You know like putting V8 behind 4 cylinder front wheel transaxle and when you mash on the gas the tranny blows. I also think weight maybe factor (terrain hilly in your area?) when the cart weighted down with the modifications.

I can see down the road form to sign if you want the big tires, high speed gear, any electrical device that will pull amps from the charging system relieving the manufacture and the dealership of any failures. Manufactures do this to get out of problems that arise. we would be probably surprised by reading warranty on anything in lawyers terms so they can wiggle out of free repairs.

As far as law suit, you may spent more than the repair even if you win. In my case I would just get the heavy duty clutch, but bottom line that may not fix it either. I know my scooter Has similar CVT clutch and belt set up and I can Change the roller Grams to get more torque or speed out of it to point. Haven't had the opportunity to work on Golf carts YET.

Sorry you had bad experience with new cart, with all the carts modified in the villages I would think this would be big problem? That's why I think weight outside (on the cart) maybe inside the clutch working parts that expand outward to change the gear ratio on the belt?
