All I can say is DAMN I like people (don’t want to say men, dudes or guys) that work on their own “stuff” ! That is so far removed from most posters on this site. I can’t believe the OP wasn’t moved immediately to some obscure category but I am glad it wasn’t ! If I had posted it you could bet it would be categorized.

No, there was no repair, but cleaning. the wear on shaft where the snap ring attaches cause the snap ring to come off. Also the snap ring was worn on one side where it had been moving and over time wore the slot enough for parts to come apart. The dirty grease may have accelerated the ware of metal but it was just worn out after 10 years . The reason I cleaned it to begin with the clutch was acting up, but I didn’t remove it and inspect parts until till it came apart.

I was aircraft engine mechanic for 40 plus years. I can usually fix about anything unless I’m too lazy to do it or research it. Plus, I don’t like paying triple for something I can do as long as I’m still able. |

The snap ring breaking is common, its a manufacturing error. Yamaha has improved the design on the replacment clutches, but the failure is very common.
It was mentioned about the secondary clutch washer getting loose, this is a know issue in the repair industry since 2007. Its a 1 time fix if the tech knows what to look for in the first service of the cart, issue becomes most dont check it and that allows it to go to failure. But in reality its a 2 minute fix. Its only after it has gone to failure a few times that it starts to ruin other parts and then it just snow balls from there. |

While waiting on the new secondary clutch I done some filing. Got 1 1/16 snap ring which tad small than 28MM. Worked the ring groove and this snap ring fit squarely. Assembled it and it’s holding. Test drove cart and clutch not working right. Now at least can move the cart it I have to.
See my spring compressor I made. Last edited by Topspinmo; 05-09-2022 at 05:15 PM. |

His washer has fallen off many times and he is already being told he needs a new shaft. It needs to be looked at with professional eyes at this point to see if can be fixed in the first place.

Said he did and needs 500 dollar shaft which what he trying to get. He never would say what shaft. I suspect it’s the output shaft in the transaxle?
