Clutch Machining

[swag4706]

What do you exactly do when you get the clutch machined and who could i get to do it? A machine shop? Does it really make a difference? I need my golf cart to climb better for hunting it has 22inch tall tires and a six inch lift. Can anyone shed dome light on clutch machining? It would be appreciated.

Put a 28 deg. driven clutch on your cart.

Would the 28 degree driven clutch give the golf cart more torque than having it machined or just putting a shorter belt on?

Yes. The steeper angle makes it stay in a lower gear longer. I had a set of 26" Terra tires "HEAVY as all ****" on a '02 with 8" lift and stock engine. The thing would all but climb a wall. You can machine the face of the clutch, that will set the belt higher in the sheeve but won't slow the shift down. Machining and a shorter belt are a cheaper solution, but do not give as good of performance as the 28 degree clutch.
