An inoperative EZGO is first priority 'round the homestead. Mine is a 1997 Textron SN:1015150.
It sure sounds like a pinion gear on the drive motor gone bad while I go, full power, nowhere.
I've opened the top hatch, disconnected the wires, and removed all but the top bolt to the motor. Anticipating the next move is tough. The motor looks heavy and I don't know if lifting it through the hatch is possible. How far must the drive mechanism pull out before I can lift up and out? Getting it all back in place, installed with new "drive gear" without a hitch seems daunting. Is dropping through the bottom easier? That would mean the entire axle and suspension dropping down. Right? I'm up to the task, just not sure of the best path.
