[Kartbuilding] Go kart Transmission

[Stephen Burke]

Hi,

A Manual gearbox would require a clutch.
Gearboxes and clutches tend to be heavy and in some cases heavier than
an engine.
Typically you would use/get a motorcycle engine which would come with a
clutch and gearbox all built-in.

CVT is typically done using a torque converter which is belt driven.
So if you can get/buy a good proper CVT/Torque converter - then this
will be the easiest solution.

Best of luck,
-steve
