Automotive Authority LLC Club Car Clutch Drive Belt 1016203 — 1 in x 37 in OEM-fit for 1992+ DS & 2004+ Precedent, restores torque

The Club Car Clutch Drive Belt 1016203 by Automotive Authority LLC is a high-quality aftermarket replacement belt designed to restore torque and drivetrain performance on 1992-and-newer DS and 2004-and-newer Precedent gas golf carts.

When a worn clutch drive belt slips, stretches, or frays, your Club Car will lose acceleration, hauling ability, and smooth power transfer. This replacement belt is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, measuring approximately 1" wide with a 37" outer diameter so you get a close fit without custom trimming. Installing the correct belt refreshes clutch engagement and helps return your cart to reliable operation for daily use, course rounds, or light utility work.

This belt specifically replaces OEM part number 1016203 and is sized for common Club Car gas models. Confirm compatibility by checking your cart’s model and year against the supported list before ordering.

How easy is installation and what should I check?

• Direct replacement for OEM 1016203—no trimming typically required
