If you look up EZ-go, you should be able to find a few. Before ordering, make sure you take measurements of the motor shaft (diameter, spline count, length) and tell the store it is for a Spicer/Dana rear end. Will save some headache in shipping it back if some measurement is not correct.
There are two reasons I can think of that may be an issue - overspeeding and a loose field shoe.

Thanks for all your help guys....I've put the motor in for repairs, I think that possible overspeed-freewheeling may have contributed to an already worn motor...
I hope to reinstall over the weekend, and will keep you posted. Tried to upload a pic of my car, but too high resolution so will reshoot pix soon...
thanks
