Clutch Noise Maybe?

On my 96 Club Car DS gasser, the thing squeals and squawks until it gets rolling, then for the most part it does pretty good. But, still occasionally starting from a stop it makes noise again. A guy at the office said it either needs a new clutch or mine machined and rebuilt. Does this sound reasonable?

It could be a clutch or drive belt problem. Are you sure it isn't the starter generator belt making the noise?

Could be, it don't move while it's doing it, once it all catches up, it stops squealing and then goes. I guess I ought to take the seat off and watch what all is happening while it's doing it. It's a real high-pitched chirping.

It's probably the starter generator belt. Check to see if the belt has any cracks or looks glazed on the edges. Also make sure it's tight.
