96 Club car sputters and will not accelerate
I have a 1996 Electric Club Car that has been working great. Today, my dad gets in and when he put it in reverse , it jumped. Then once he starting going forward the car would just sputter, almost like the motor is slipping. Any ideas?

I have no idea as to what the problem is but this sounds almost exactly what my problem was and it was thought to be the motor and it was not , sounds eriely like a bad controller but a skilled tech can tell you quickly.

Welcome to the forum bsnydes........................
Usually, when the shuddering happens, it's either bad battery cable connections or 1 bad battery. Check all connections on top of the batteries and check the voltage of all batteries as well as use a Hydrometer. That will fix it most of the time. |

Rusty said it, battery and battery connections are the most common culprit. Look for rough wires before spending any big bucks on checking it out.
