driven unit slipping (torque converter)

[vandancouver]

i have the older style torque converter, jackshaft and all that. ya know, the kind that bolts underneath the engine, the driven unit is connected there..anyways

just yesterday we were cruising the kart, and then all of a sudden it starts slipping. the engine will rev up like normal, but the outside piece on the driven unit seems to spin 4 or 5 times extra after the rest of it stops. is it possible to fix this, or is there anythingi can try to do to fix it?

thanks

sounds like you sheared a key

i didnt know there was a key on the driven unit..

you have to pull the driven unit off the shaft and it should be right there on the shaft
