    3 speed transmission on an old gokart

    Found scrolling. Looks like a centrifugal clutch to a jackshaft sprocket. Then down the line on the jackshaft they ran sprockets/chain from the jackshaft to the transmission input. They then ran a chain from the transmission output to the Diff/axle looking deal.
