Product Details

The Universal Shift Lever Conversion Kit from Buggies Unlimited makes life easy, and we are happy to explain how. Of course, there are a few exceptions to this rule, but caddies have been using solid-state systems from the early nineties and on. As a matter of fact, this means you have a controller in place of a resistor coil. The first models that were of this type were series systems. They have a manual forward and reverse mechanism that can get stiff, of course. The newer style shunt systems used an easy-to-press rocker switch. Now, we have that convenience for both.

Your carriage uses a copper contacted golf cart shifter mechanism to flip the polarity at the motor. Over time those contacts become sticky and difficult to move. When that happens, shifting the cart from forward to reverse can be a nightmare. However, heavy-duty lever-style models are going to give up over time. Get the most bang for your buck with the universal shift lever conversion kit. This is a four-terminal solenoid that comes with a rocker switch. It does the same job as the original one on the cart with about a tenth of the effort. This is an easy choice.

Installing one of these golf cart shift lever conversion kits from Buggies Unlimited is not a challenging task at all. You are going to need a basic set of sockets, a drill, and a few other minor tools. Grab a buddy and order a pizza; this should not take very long at all.

Buggies Unlimited carries everything you could need to keep your golf cart on the road. We are also an innovator of new kits to make your life easier without breaking your bank. We are not in it to get every bit of your money. All we want is a future full of caddies.

I like the quality of the components and the easy installation. I like the outstanding tech support Buggies Unlimited provides when questions arise.
Buggies Unlimited tech support is truly outstanding in providing diagrams and step by step instructions to complete the installation. I drilled 2 additional holes to mount the rocker switch housing. I drilled out my existing my existing terminals to 5/16 for the new contractor lugs.

Great upgrade
This was a great upgrade and smart choice. The old shifter was getting bad. It was a pain to find reverse. This new shifter is a dream to use. No more hunting and finding the forward and reverse position. It’s now a pleasure to drive.

I rarely leave reviews, but this company deserves recognition!
Works perfectly and their support is AMAZING! If someone is giving this company less than 5 stars, they are the problem, not the helpful people at Buggies Unlimited!

I made a mistake by removing a wire I didn't think was needed. Spent a few hours scratching my head as I had forgot I removed the wire and then decided to call their support line. The gentlemen who helped me knew exactly what I was missing based on my description of the problem. He also gave me pointers/suggestions for the other upgrades I was implementing! 100% recommend anything they sell just based on the support you will receive!

Game changer
I wish I had done this sooner. My old style FNR lever was always hard to shift. I had to replace it every few years. Having a push button selector is a game changer. The wiring was 80% straightforward. Ray was a HUGE help getting me thru the other 20% (the most important part!). I highly recommend this conversion. Great service and support as always from BU

great kit
installation was not complicated. golf cart runs better than its ever run. forward & reverse shifting is as easy as pushing a button.

Can this switch handle a conversion from 36V to 48v on a Yamaha G16E?
I have a 2004 EZGO TXT that is swapping over from 36V to 48V.  It is  series system.  Will this work for the cart with the 36 to 48 conversion?
How do I hook up the micro switches / where do the wires go?

You don’t use or need the microswitchs

I have a 94 txt. I have installed the kit correctly (according to the instructions). However, it is not working correctly. The ITS is not working correctly. When i touch the accelerator the motor kicks in wide open. no speed control whatsoever. I'm hoping this is a common problem that can be fixed by moving a wire. I swapped the ITS to no avail. Any help?

It is best to call out Tech Support team so they can help troubleshoot your problem over the phone.

will this work on a 1994 club car?

Yes, it should work on any type of electric cart, always check with buggies for any questions, very informative on there products. Easy install.

What do do with all the wires go to the solenoid?

The instruction manual will show you how everything should be connected.

Will this work for a gas golf cart?

No it’s for replacement of f&r board
