Greetings guys. This is my first post here.
I'm pretty sure the cut off year for the no reverse EZGO 2 cycle Marathons is actually 1993.5. Used 4 cycle transaxles are out there but it's a crap shoot locating them and you might have to buy a cart to get them. Starting in 2010, it took me 2 years to find an ME29 transaxle w/reverse for my 1990 EZGO then, as is usually the case, I found two more of them shortly after that. I also found a 4th one just last week. The first one I bought had nothing else with it, no shifter linkage or mechanism just the transaxle. The seller didn't know what it was out of so I wasn't sure it would even fit my cart but it bolted right up. The second one I found was in a mostly complete `93 parts cart and had a complete shifter setup. The third one was also in a `93 parts cart. It had an ME29 transaxle and shifter mechanism but the cables were gone. All three are the coil spring type. The 4th one is in a 1996 TXT parts cart and has everything needed. It's a leaf spring setup. I don't plan to let any of them go at the present time. Maybe later. Been burned in the past selling parts before making sure I didn't need them.
Long post for a first timer.. Sorry!
