G29 Electric Intermediate Gear Issues
I'm having major issues with my 2007 G29 electric cart. I took apart the rear end and found that the intermediate gear (smaller of the two gears) was completely worn away and ground off. I contacted a Yamaha dealer here in Colorado and found out that they can't get the gear. In fact, after looking all over the internet, the gear has been on backorder for more than a year. I found a guy in Alabama who had a 2010 transaxle (yellow tag Team) and he sent me the input shaft and intermediate gears out of it. Well, I got the gears today and the gears look great except the intermediate gear has some play in it between the bigger gear and the smaller gear. The bearings also feel a little rough. I'm wondering if the slack is the result of wear or if there is a key pin in there that has been worn? Or is this gear I got from the guy garbage? I inspected the bad intermediate gear I took out and there is no play in it between the gears at all. Seems to be pressed together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can make a youtube video if that would help to demonstrate the slack/play. |

Re: G29 Electric Intermediate Gear Issues
I'm not surprised that the gear is out of stock. Yamaha stopped using the Team transaxle almost 10 years ago.
Back when the problem was discovered, Yamaha changed out a ton of transaxles. Your 2010 parts may be worn but they are better than what you took out. Change the bearings. They are contaminated with metal particles from your gear. |

The bearings are easy enough to get out. The cheap puller with the 90 degree tang will do it. Take careful note of the spacers and shims and remember their locations. Check the axle bearings for play. They are easier to change before they come apart. The only tricky bearings are the axle bearings. You pretty much need a slide hammer, and press or at least a strong vise and big hammer. |
