Oh ok. I see it now. Thanks for all your help!

Why is the 90* gearbox needed with a horizontal shaft? Also, thanks for the info on the transmission. I didn't know about it and it'll be great for my project.

Only in high school, so still learning. Thanks for all the help!

That clears it up, thank you. Last question, would you say that using a manual transmission is too much of a hassle to be worth it?

Ok thanks for the info on the CVT. I'll look into using one. About the manual transmission, I don't completely understand what you mean by the 90 degree rotation between the input and output shafts. Could you explain it again? Sorry.

Are you saying to use a cvt along with a manual transmission?

So I'm thinking of making a go kart using a Predator 212 6.5hp that has a 2 or 3 speed 1 reverse (at least one gear high torque and another high speed). What sort of clutch should I use and how would I figure out the gear ratios for the transmission? Aiming for 45 mph top speed. Thanks for the help.
