Golf Cart Drive Clutches & Driven Clutches
A golf cart clutch is part of the drivetrain system that transfers engine power through the belt and into the drivetrain. Most gas golf carts use a primary or drive clutch together with a secondary or driven clutch.
If a clutch becomes worn or damaged, symptoms can include slipping, rough engagement, reduced acceleration, unusual noise, or inconsistent power delivery. When replacing a clutch, confirm whether your cart requires a drive clutch, driven clutch, complete clutch kit, or individual replacement component.
Types of Golf Cart Clutches
Understanding the different types of golf cart clutches helps you choose the right option for your specific cart.
Primary / Drive Clutch
A golf cart primary clutch, also called a drive clutch, mounts on the engine side of the drivetrain and works with the drive belt as engine speed changes. Replacement drive clutches are model-specific, so fitment should always be checked before ordering.
Secondary / Driven Clutch
The driven clutch works together with the drive clutch and belt to transfer power through the drivetrain. EZGO, Yamaha, and Club Car driven clutch designs can vary by model, year, and engine configuration.
Golf Cart Clutch Kits
Golf cart clutch kits may include a complete clutch assembly or a combination of replacement components depending on the application. Review exactly what is included in each kit and confirm compatibility with your cart before purchasing.
Complete Clutch System & Related Parts
In addition to drive and driven clutches, many golf cart clutch repairs require supporting drivetrain components or specialty tools. Depending on the application, you may also need golf cart drive belts, a clutch puller, spring, washer, mounting hardware, or related replacement part.
- Drive Belts – Connect the primary (drive) and secondary (driven) clutches, playing a key role in transferring power.
- Clutch Pullers – Model-specific removal tools used when servicing or replacing certain golf cart clutches.
- Washers & Hardware – Ensure proper alignment, spacing, and secure fitting of clutch components.
- Clutch Kits – Complete packages that may include clutches, springs, and related components for improved performance.
Using the correct combination of these parts helps maintain efficiency, reduce wear, and ensure your golf cart operates smoothly.

Choosing the right clutch means ensuring compatibility with your specific cart model. Different brands require different clutch designs and specifications.
1: Yamaha Golf Cart Clutch
Shop Yamaha golf cart clutches and related drivetrain components for compatible gas models. Whether you need a Yamaha golf cart drive clutch, primary clutch, driven clutch, or a Yamaha G2–G22 secondary clutch kit, check the exact Yamaha model, year, and engine configuration before ordering.
2: EZGO Golf Cart Clutch
Shop E-Z-GO golf cart clutches for compatible gas-cart applications, including drive clutches, driven clutches, clutch kits, pullers, and related components. An EZGO golf cart clutch must match the cart model, production year, engine type, and clutch position, so confirm fitment before purchasing.
3: Club Car Golf Cart Clutch
Club Car golf cart clutch options are available for compatible gas-cart applications. When replacing a drive or driven clutch, confirm the exact Club Car model, year range, engine configuration, and product fitment information before ordering.
Replacement & Performance Golf Cart Clutch Options
A worn clutch may need direct replacement, while some carts can use application-specific clutch kits or upgraded components. The right choice depends on the cart model, engine, existing drivetrain setup, and how the cart is used. Always follow the fitment details provided for the individual product rather than assuming every performance clutch kit fits every cart.
Signs You Need to Replace Your Golf Cart Clutch
Common signs that may indicate a worn or damaged golf cart clutch include:
- Slipping or loss of power
- Jerky or rough acceleration
- Unusual noises
- Reduced speed and performance
These symptoms can also have other drivetrain causes, so inspect the clutch, belt, and related components before replacing parts.
How to Choose the Right Golf Cart Clutch
Before ordering a replacement golf cart clutch or clutch kit, confirm:
- Make and model – EZGO, Yamaha, and Club Car use different clutch designs.
- Model year – Fitment can change between production years.
- Engine configuration – Match the clutch to the engine and drivetrain application listed by the manufacturer.
- Drive or driven clutch – Confirm which side of the clutch system you are replacing.
- Replacement or upgrade – Use an application-specific performance kit only when it is listed as compatible with your cart.
Product fitment information should be the final reference before ordering.
Golf Cart Clutch Inspection & Maintenance
Periodically inspect the clutch, drive belt, springs, mounting hardware, and surrounding drivetrain components for visible wear or damage. Keep the clutch area clean and follow the cart or component manufacturer’s service instructions. If removal is required, use the correct model-specific clutch puller or service tool.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the difference between a golf cart drive clutch and driven clutch?
The drive clutch, also called the primary clutch, is located on the engine side of the system. The driven or secondary clutch works with the drive belt to transfer power through the drivetrain. Both components must match the cart’s specific application.
Q2: How do I choose the correct golf cart clutch?
Match the replacement clutch to your cart’s make, model, year, engine configuration, and whether you need a drive or driven clutch. Always confirm the fitment information on the individual product page before ordering.
Q3: What is included in a golf cart clutch kit?
The contents vary by product. Some golf cart clutch kits include a complete clutch assembly, while others may include springs, hardware, or additional drivetrain components. Check the product listing to see exactly what is included.
Q4: Are Yamaha, E-Z-GO, and Club Car golf cart clutches different?
Yes. Yamaha, E-Z-GO, and Club Car clutch systems can differ by model, year, engine, and drivetrain configuration. A clutch that fits one cart should not be assumed to fit another without checking the listed application.
Q5: When should I replace my golf cart clutch?
Slipping, rough engagement, unusual clutch noise, or reduced power can indicate clutch or drivetrain wear. Inspect the clutch, belt, and related components to identify the cause before replacing parts.
