If there is any problem with the secondary clutch, it is best to replace it or the drive belt connected to it. If you are unsure about removing the drive belt or the clutch, then you can adjust it.

CVT Components

On a golf cart, the CVT is comprised of three parts; the drive clutch or primary clutch on the engine, the driven or secondary clutch on the differential, and the belt which connects the two. As the rpms of the engine increase, the drive clutch spins with it and with the use of flyweights and centrifugal force, the clutch pulls inward on the belt.

Drive Clutch

Let’s start with the removal of the drive (primary) clutch which is mounted on the crankshaft sticking out of the engine. Before beginning the golf cart clutch removal of either clutch, you must first remove the drive belt. At rest, it is loose enough where you can just work it over the clutches. Once removed, you can then remove the drive clutch.

Driven Clutch

As for the driven or secondary clutch, although it may seem easier to remove, it is often the hard one to tackle. When the bolt is removed from the center of the driven clutch, there is literally nothing else holding it on. It is not generally a tapered fit like is used on the drive clutch.

Drive

The drive, or primary, clutch is found on the crankshaft of the engine. A thick, heavy ‘drive’ belt is wrapped around it and links it to the driven clutch, on the differential. At rest, the drive clutch sheaves (or pulley halves) are separated enough that the drive belt rests in between the sheaves & against the center shaft of this clutch.

Driven

The other half of this system is the driven, or secondary, clutch. At rest the driven clutch sheaves are spring loaded together, so the belt sits up at the outer edge of this clutch, NOT down toward the center shaft. It, too, spins around and has a sheave that sides in & out along it’s main shaft but this clutch has no flyweights.

Belt Operation

As the drive belt forces the driven clutch sheaves to separate, the PULLING ratio of the engine changes from maximum (when the belt is at the outer edge of the driven unit) to minimum PULLING power, or top cruising speed (when the sheaves are completely apart).

Driven Issues

The driven clutch can misbehave in many ways. It has one main shaft and the sliding sheave has an internal bushing that will wear, and it has several inclined metal ramps (usually aluminum) with small plastic buttons that protect the ramps as they glide against one another.

Buttons

OK picture this: The engine revs up and the drive belt starts to ride down into the pulley faces of the driven clutch forcing them to separate. The inboard pulley half begins to slide along the main shaft compressing the spring and bringing the funky cup ends and their respective ramps up against one another.

Driven Spring

While we are on the Yamaha driven clutch another failure that occurs is almost impossible to detect but it also impairs the hill pulling power of the car. Keep looking inboard to where the funky spring cap butts up against the differential housing. The spring cap doesn’t actually touch the differential case.
