Need To Ad Reverse

[PMHELENA]

Where can I go to buy reverse to add on a go kart? I am new to this. I also want to swap an engine for more horspower. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Comet forward/reverse gearbox, rather expensive.

or do like ryf and use a Garden Tractor transaxle. They are plentiful and not to expensive and have awesome torque. Some even come in 5 speed with reverse. BMI has one already mounted to an engine for sale in their ebay store. I bought one recently for $25. in a heavy duty 3 speed with reverse. and yes it works with a Horizontal shaft engine if you find the right transaxle. or you can use one with a vertical shaft motor which sometimes can be found cheaper than Horizontal shft motors.

Most of those transaxles are grease filled, can be turned sideways.
