Club Car DS Upper Clevis — Shuttle Linkage for Gas & Electric Models
The Club Car DS upper clevis is a forged steel linkage component that connects the forward/reverse shuttle cable to the transmission shift arm on Club Car DS golf carts — both gasoline and electric models from 1982 through the final DS production years. This clevis is the pivot point in the shift linkage: when the driver moves the FNR lever, the cable pulls or pushes the clevis, which rotates the transmission shift arm to select forward, neutral, or reverse. A worn, bent, or cracked clevis produces loose shift lever feel, difficulty finding neutral, or complete loss of gear engagement — the cart either refuses to shift or pops out of gear under load.
Manufactured from forged steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc-plated finish, this Club Car DS upper clevis is built to the OEM Club Car specification for the DS platform shift linkage. The clevis pin hole is precision-drilled to match the factory pin diameter, ensuring a tight pivot fit without the slop that develops in worn OEM clevises and causes imprecise shift gate feel. The threaded cable attachment accepts the standard Club Car DS shuttle cable end fitting. This is a direct bolt-on replacement — remove the old clevis pin, swap the clevis, install the new pin and cotter key, and adjust the cable tension.
Fits Club Car DS models (gas and electric) from 1982 through production end. Compatible with both Kawasaki FE290/FE350 gas engines and 36V/48V electric powertrains. This is the upper clevis at the transmission end of the shuttle cable — not the lower clevis at the FNR lever end.

Each Club Car DS upper clevis ships with a new clevis pin and cotter key included. After installation, adjust the shuttle cable tension so the FNR lever engages each position with a positive detent feel — a cable that is too loose will not fully engage forward or reverse, and a cable that is too tight will make the lever difficult to move.
