Secondary clutch snap ring groove failure.
1 Attachment(s)
Heard loud bag as turning corner. Cart hard to accelerate and engine lugging down. Luckily I was close to home.
noticed the secondary clutch SPRIN (item 6) was spread apart which wasn’t normal. (due to snap ring failure and big spring separating the clutch SPRIN) The snap ring holding the assembly together came off. Ok removed clutch, cleaned it up and tried to assemble it. But, it kept flying apart. The snap ring groove was worn (item 2) and wouldn’t seat the snap ring. Need three parts to fix it for $114. Ordered new OEM clutch assembly for $126. Secondary Sheave replacement parts for 2012 Yamaha YDRAX2 PTV JC04 Items 2,6, and 9 are worn. My 10 year old cart has 16K or so miles first major part I have to replace. FYI if interested? |
By any chance did you try just replacing the snap ring? If it was damaged, they can snap out. I think I have seen these at the hardware stores and harbor freight, they need to be the correct size (diameter) and thickness. I sold these in working parttime in college.

I looked at the groove in shaft where snap ring goes worn . Tried flipping snap ring over and tried new snap ring, it still can apart. I was really luckily I was close to home cause it was forced un against the transaxle and the short distance it became hot as firecracker. Have photos, but can’t figure out how to post without using hppt//. |
Secondary clutch washer (2014 Yamaha)
I was having problems with the washer (part #13) wearing and the clutch coming off the shaft. This was happening about once a month. Called to see what the fix was. 2 different shops told me the shaft has to be replaced, $600 to $700. It was cheaper to replace the washer when it wore. Finally I remover the secondary clutch and cleaned it and cleaned the spline on the shaft. Before reassembling I greased the splined portion of the shaft. Now it lasts at least a year at a time. So now as part of my annual maintenance I remove the secondary clutch and grease the spline. No more problem. I had been putting a few pumps of grease in the fitting on the clutch every year with no help.

Second thought, it could be bushing (16) worn or not machined to correct spec’s creating slack or too large? IMO I’d just buy replacement clutch see it that fixes the problem? It not you have one spare to swap out? Here what mine looks like, maybe can compare if see any visual difference from you’re? |

Very little lip left at the end (worn) item 6 wear probably contributed to failure of item 2. |

This happens frequently with year models 2007 - 2014. The washer will keep wearing out and the clutch will slip outwards causing the belt to come off. I am told by repair guys that you have to replace the input shaft and that part is very hard to find and costs around $500. I am on my third bolt, washer, and spacer (around $12 per set) and there is a chance the shaft will fly apart and more or less ruin the cart if you keep doing this. I finally found the shaft and hope it comes in quickly so my repair guy can replace it before this washer wears out.

Electric carts have the same type of clutches/drivetrain pieces that gas carts do, just the engine/motor is different.
All golf carts have undercarriage maintenance, gas or electric, but electric have the additional cost of replacing their batteries (lead or lithium) every so many years, which can run into the thousands of $$$$ |
Input shafts are not the same on electric vs gas

if you drive cart with secondary clutch separation probably damage the transaxle. But, the will not go full throttle and struggles to gain speed and Within short distance the secondary clutch get extremely hot. Which mine did, melted all grease out and was smoking hot. Replacing the clutch assembly IMO shouldn’t fix you’re problem cause it eliminates the worn parts. Here pic of the transaxle shaft. Mine is not worn can you see any wear on you’re transaxle shaft? If that’s what you’re saying wrong? |
