The fan in most cases can be taken apart, the armature cleaned up, the bushings lubricated and re-installed. Search for fan removal and disassembly on: www.smartcarofamerica.com.

Try taking it to an electric motor rebuilding shop and see if they can overhaul it. If the armature is bad, they may be able to rewind it. Other then the armature having a concern, the motor should be rebuildable.

Well, I wrote too soon that my Smarty was fixed. I was SO elated that it seemed to be working. After being in the shop for a week with the gear box/clutch pulled out it DID work for a fortnight before the same problem returned. It has improved; cert…
I think they replaced the clutch plate and it was okay for a few weeks, now I am experiencing the same problem again. Not everytime I try to go into reverse, but often.
