My question; is the drive clutch the same one that was used on any of the older G series carts. So I can rebuild it or is the clutch specific to the G1? If the G1 clutch is different, then can I fit any of the older style clutches on it?
Does that go for the driven/secondary clutch as well?

Depends on the year of the G1. Early G1's used an aluminum capped 4 weight primary, where later models used the gold steel cap 3 weight clutch simular to your 4 cycle clutch's. The fixed sheave's are different on G1's, they have a gear drive for the oil pump on the back. The secondary's, although similar in function, the G1 has no preload and ramp shoes on the spring seat and sliding sheave. Normally diassembly, cleaning and greasing (maybe new ramp shoes) will take care of the problem.
