Kingzilla Stage 1 Clutch Performance Kit for Yamaha Drive/Drive2
Is your Yamaha Drive or Drive2 struggling on hills or under heavy loads? This Kingzilla Clutch Performance Kit for the Yamaha Drive and Drive 2 golf carts will help give your cart more low end torque and better acceleration. It also helps your clutches backshift faster under a load (climbing a hill) to keep your engine in the optimum RPM range. These kits are available in 3 different stages and 3 different secondary clutch springs for each stage. Please choose from the menus what model your cart is and which spring you want for your secondary clutch. This listing is only for the Stage 1 kit - click here for the Stage 2 or Stage 3. We also have clutch compressors available for installing the spring in your secondary clutch.
The Yamaha Drive 2 Quietech model is known for being a real slug on the hills. This clutch performance kit is exactly what you need to give your Quietech more pep. We also recommend removing the spark arrestor on your Quietech to help the exhaust flow better. Here is the link for the video on spark arrestor removal.
Quietech Belt Info - Our Kingzilla HD drive belt for the 2017- current Drive 2 Quietech models is SHORTER than the OEM belt. We intentionally made this belt shorter to get the low end torque that we were looking for. This helps your clutches start out in "first gear", which gives you better acceleration. Due to this belt being shorter, it is a little tougher to get installed. It is possible to "roll" this belt on, but it does take some muscle to do it.
If you have a 2007-2012 Yamaha G29 Drive with the TEAM clutches, you will need to upgrade to the new style clutches for this kit to work. The TEAM clutches are garbage, and we do not offer any upgrades/parts for them.
We have a video available on how to determine which stage of clutch kit you need, what is included in each kit, and how to properly install your clutch components. Please review the clutch installation video before making your purchase so you have an understanding of what tools will be needed to complete this process.
The primary purpose of our clutch kit is to help gain more bottom end torque for better acceleration and hill climbing. If you have a fleet cart and are looking to get MORE SPEED - we recommend adding high speed gears along with the clutch kit.
Clutching is not an exact science, if you are not happy with how your cart is performing after installing this kit, please contact us so we can determine what changes need to be made. It does take around 5 to 10 hours of run time to "break in" a new belt. It is not uncommon to lose 1 or 2 mph after installing a new clutch kit. As the belt gets broke in it will get more grip and improve performance of the belt and usually even gain back a couple mph of top speed. It is best to wait until after the break in period before making any changes.
What's included:
Stage 1 - Kingzilla severe duty drive belt and driven clutch spring.
Stage 2 - Kingzilla severe duty drive belt, driven clutch spring, drive clutch weights.
Stage 3 - Kingzilla severe duty drive belt, driven clutch spring, replacement upgraded primary clutch.
Great spring and gave golf a lot more uphill power
Hi Evan, we're glad to hear the Clutch Kit improved your golf cart's power. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Improved my low end climb and take off. Does not improve my top end speed. But I love how much more responsive it feels on the low end side.
Thank you for your business!
I installed the stage 1 kit on our cart and its performance has been very impressive. The cart is a Yamaha G29 with a back seat kit installed. No more bogs going up steep hills with two adults and two kids. The driven spring back shifts seamlessly and keeps the motor in the peak power zone. I was also impressed with the the quick response when emailing the support line with questions. Great investment if you’ve added a backseat kit to your cart!!!
Great looking cart! Thank you for your business Chris!
Helped with low end torque
Just installed the stage 1 clutch kit on my 2021 Yamaha drive 2. My cart is really Pepe now.
The cart will take the hills on the golf course with 2 people now like it did when I bought it new
Works as described and fast shipping!
The spring allows the cart to run closer to the max torque. I did swap back to an OEM belt as the aftermarket one was noisy. All is good with the OEM belt and torque spring installed.
Gave it that extra bump it needed to make it around our property without struggling up hills.
Just installed stage 1 clutch kit on my 2021 Yamaha Drive 2. Hill climbing performance on my local "CARDIAC HILL" went from 5 MPH going up to 13 MPH. Hill is probably about 35 to 40 degrees. I could not be happier. Thank you Warreen
Hi Warren, we're thrilled to hear about the great improvement! Thanks for sharing your experience. Enjoy your enhanced performance!

Hi Mark, thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad you're satisfied with the parts.
My PTV cart was too slow on hills. Much better now.
Hi Warren, we're glad to hear the clutch kit improved your cart's performance on hills! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Low-end torque is phenomenal, and I can still get up to 24 with 20 inch tires
We appreciate your business Glenn!
What a difference $119 makes!! No more bogging up the hills. This clutch spring and belt was the answer I was looking for. And easy if you have a mechanical bone in you.
Thank you for your business Kelly!
My stage one performance kit and clutch works great. It may have lost one mph on the top end, but totally worth it. It pulls really good on hills and at low rpm turns. Take off is fantastic!
We appreciate your business Robert!
I was very impressed with the communication and fast delivery of this product. It is high quality and performed as advertised!
We appreciate your business Tony!
Grey spring has given my cart the uphill power.
