Cart Subtotal:
The Club Car Speed Switch Replacement from Buggies Unlimited is a great way to bring a vintage golf cart into a newer era. Everyone loves to talk about what you can't do to those resistor-powered caddies. You can't speed them up; no putting a lift kit under the suspension. You should refrain from any torque improvements. Oh, and you cannot increase the tire size. However, all of this leads back to the bank of coils. As a matter of fact, if you add any extra demand, that old boy will get red hot and melt everything around it. That does not make a relaxing afternoon.
All you need to do to understand why you want one of these is to have problems with what it replaces. The older style sensors that the golf cart speed switch replaces were all copper contacted. There was essentially a fiberboard with several studs mounted in an arch. Then a movable piece would wipe over them and send power to another part of the resistor. As you can imagine, this was a high-wear item due to all of the movement over a malleable metal. Not only that, the heat didn't do it any long-term favors either.
The installation of the speed switch assembly is not something you need to worry about. However, grab a Club Car OEM service manual and call a friend. Not saying you can't handle it on your own, but backup never hurt anyone. The last thing you want is to be elbow deep with your hands full and have to drop what you are doing to grab something.
