If you just want to make it live axle, buy an axle the same diameter and length as the axle on there now. Then you need to make a jackshaft to mount the driven clutch and a drive sprocket.
Post more pics of the trans. Maybe it's something easily fixable....

Yep but idk what gearing or what all to buy to run with a live axle cuz to me it sounds better like a posi on a car but then idk whats better so i need advice

It IS like putting a posi in a car....
Maybe "we" should look at the trans to see what's wrong, and if it's an easy fix. Depending on the type trans, you might be able to get a replacement fairly cheap. Can you post some pics of it, especially with any serial / model numbers....

OK so what would I need to make it a jackshaft and what gearing should I run

 

[firemanjim]

Well, I assume you'd rather have the live axle. For the jackshaft, I'll get you a link in a minute.
For gearing, how tall are your rear tires?

You're gonna need something like that. That's the only one I saw with a 3/4" shaft in it already. I believe your driven has a 3/4" bore. If not, then it's 1"....

From the ground to the topof the back its 22 and my motor is a 1" bore

Your driven clutch, has either a 3/4" or 1" bore. (not the one on the engine.) Youre gonna need a jackshaft for that to mount on.
As for gearing, I don't know first hand, but I'd say you're gonna want to shoot for a 7:1 -8:1 ratio.... Someone with better, first hand experience with karts and large tires, will chime in soon....

 

[Jairo]

Oh ok so which clutch is that

The clutch on the engine, is called the drive or driver clutch. The one on your transmission is called the driven clutch....
