Are there any rebuild kits available for this model secondary clutch? It says it is a "Team" brand clutch. It also has "Rapid Reaction" stamped on it.

It still spins CCW if I turn it 180 degrees.

Does the EZGO MPT 1200 transaxle have a different gear ratio for forward and reverse? When I looked up the specs online it said has a 13.32:1 ratio. It doesn't say anything about having different rations for forward and reverse. The reason I ask is that I unfortunately need to run this rear...

I had looked into some of the clutches like you see on a Polaris. It said they had a two way bearing to avoid engine braking. Would this allow it to coast?

I guess my goal would be to top 25 mph and have it not feel like it is revved to the moon. 25 mph at 3,500 rpm would be nice. To not have such harsh engine braking going downhill would be nice as well. If everything stayed the same and I went to 28” tall tires, how fast could I go?

BrownStainRacing, Thanks for your reply. I don’t understand how I could keep my current jackshaft setup with a live axle since the support is welded to the axle tube. I will have to get rid of that unless you have something in mind. I have attached a better picture. I am also wondering if I can...

Let’s say I ditch the EZGO rear end and go with a live axle and I keep the 12 tooth on the gear box. What would be a good starting point sprocket for a live axle? I have seen some of these gear reduction boxes that bolt to the motor. Any way to reverse one of those to get the opposite effect?

I might be able to squeeze a 13 or 14 tooth on the driver and possibly a 9 tooth on the driven. This is a picture of my gearbox I pulled off the internet.

Would I gain anything by going to a larger diameter TC, like one from a Polaris? I have room for larger pulleys

I am very familiar with Red Beard, haha. I use his videos quite a bit

Thanks for your advice. Based on your calculations, it doesn't sound like I would be happy with the 6:1 conversion. The 8:1's gave me a lot of trouble on install since I had to find a press. I have considered a live axle. I like the simplicity of them and having no differential to contend...

What is my current ratio after all the reductions?

I have a tach and it can easily get to 4,500 rpm’s which I know is dicey. The engine braking going down hills feels like I am about to tear something up as well. I wish I had gotten 6:1 gears but I bought the 8:1’s used for cheap on eBay. This thing needs overdrive, haha When I started this...

I am looking for some assistance in figuring out my gearing on my EZGO electric to gas conversion. I finally got it running and staying together, but I top out at 21 mph regardless of uphill or down. Plenty of low end.l, but the gearing is holding me back. I will start at the diff and work my...

I wanted to follow up with everyone and let you know what happened. As Denny suggested I swapped the driver pulley around for proper belt alignment. I left my driven clutch floating. I messed around with the mounting of the engine and reduced the distance between the two pulleys to about 10...
