You can see how the splines become sharp. Like little triangles. In reality they are more like Pyramids

Check out the splines close to the bearing (left side)
They are untouched. Look at how the motor has wore them into a completely different shape.

Grant; thank you so much for the valuable information. I will tear into the project this week and get back to you with my findings. It does make sense to do the upgrade. I will speak to previous owner to see if he knows what transmission work has been done. I have a copy of a work order from electric car in Palm Springs listing transmission service $485 parts and labor but no description of what was done. I will also call this shop to see if they can provide any further information Mike
Owner said electric car distributors replaced the Q-charger in 2009. He brought it in because it would barely move and he thought it was a transmission problem. They diagnosed it as a charger failure.
What is your price for the replacement shaft including all necessary parts. I would need everything shipped to me in California. Thanks. Mike

Here is what a nice new Input shaft and OIL seal look like.
Notice how GEM switched to a open Berring on the new one and they use the black oil seal to hold back the oil now.
very nice 
this a 10,35 gear ?
I am not sure of the gearing as I just purchased it from a fellow GEM owner. My input motor gear was badly worn and made noise on deceleration. Best person to ask would be Grant West. He knows a lot about the GEM transmission set up.
Just wondering if you know part number or what to type in Amazon or eBay for the rubber bumper for and ezgo txt 2001
This looks like the one I just got from NEV Access for $10 but canāt be sure of the diameter. I didnāt get it because from what I saw on other sights, it looks like it was flat on both sides but those sites were only showing the flat side(WTH?). And the one I got from NEV Access had the same coarse teeth while the splined socket had far more and smaller teeth.
Any one have the part number for new input shaft kit?!? I would like to buy one for my 2005 gem e4
Greetings allā¦ I am reading up on this vibration issue and it led me here. Great info in these posts. Where can I obtain some of these rubber bumpers?
I just bought one from buggies unlimited. They seem to be the cheapest place, they have $5 shipping sale until the 15th I believe. Thatās the thing that kills me, a $2 part the size of a coin and everyone wants to charge $12 shipping.
Note that they have 2 different kinds. Iām not sure what kind is better. I didnāt notice there was 2 different kinds and only bought 1 so hopefully I got the right one.
