Kingzilla Stage 3 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 3 kit - click here for the Stage 1 or Stage 2. If ordering a Stage 2 or 3 kit, you will need a clutch puller to remove your primary clutch. 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. Do NOT email us asking which kit you should buy until you have watched the ENTIRE video.
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 drive clutch.
I have a street legal gas 2022 Yamaha 6 passenger. With the street legal package my dealer installed a high speed gear. But when loaded with passengers my lack of torque is annoying and even unsafe when crossing intersections. With Kingzilla I achieve full speed much quicker and lost no top end speed. thank you!
Glad to hear you are happy with the upgrade! We appreciate your business Jimmy!
I have a 2013 Yamaha G29 kart and purchased it used.
I live on a Golf Course and I am located in the North Georgia Mountains. My kart was tired and would not climb the hills past waking speed. I contacted Power Equipment in a email and explained my situation. The Stage 3 KingZilla kit was recommended and “Wow” it was worth the cost. It’s like a new Kart now, climbs all the hills no issues and amazing power. Thank you
We appreciate your business Barrett!
Yamaha G29 with 25" tires loves the stage 3 Kingzilla clutch. You probably need this and don't even know it yet. It is the single best mod. made to this cart to date. Go ahead and pop for the driven clutch at the same time and never look back.
I wouldn't recommend purchasing from any place but Power Equipment Man. They went out of the way to help me make sure I got all of the correct hardware for my conversion on the first order. That doesn't happen with most online shops. They also loaded my new driven clutch with the correct spring upon purchase which is way cool.
Great company to deal with. Thank you for the video knowledge and Clutch Kit. World of difference
I installed this Stage 3 kit on my 2019 Yamaha Drive2. I also installed some larger tires at the same time. I immediately noticed that I didn’t loose as much speed when going up hills. Overall I am very pleased with the kit.
Hi Robert, we're glad to hear you're pleased with the Kingzilla Stage 3 Kit and its performance on your Yamaha Drive2! Thank you for your business!
nice kit. adds great power. i would recommend this product
Hi Steve, thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad you're satisfied with the kit and its performance.
Installation was easy! I have not had a chance to fully break it in yet. So far the power is so much better. I can pull up to the high garage curb and touch the gas it it PULLS right in. No more getting momentum going to make the climb. I can’t wait to see what it will do once it’s all broken in. Well worth the cost!!!
Thank you for your business John!
First test ride it went up all the hills with ease, some were pretty steep inclines. I was happy that it still has pretty good speed.
We appreciate your business Chuck!
