    What should I buy first?

    I have a working go kart with all the basics on it, Im just wondering what I should replace first. Also, this really nice lady that manages the place that I volunteer at is going to try to get me a job as a bus boy at a local restaurant, so maybe that will work out.

    Jackshaft with torque converter

    Also, how much length of jackshaft do I need for the driven? I have about 15/16ths of an inch of shaft when i remove the sprocket. I might be able to give myself more space by getting a longer bolt for both sides.

    Jackshaft with torque converter

    Forgove me for my stupidity, but would I install the TC so that its output is above the jackshaft input and then run a chain from the TC output to the jackshaft input? I dont think there is enough space to place the tc lvel with the jackshaft

    Jackshaft with torque converter

    Tomorrow I am going to buy this go kart, but I need to replace the clutch with a torque converter. The only problem is that it has a jackshaft placed different from where I have normally seen one. Any idea on how I would install a tav2?
