That looks like most diff lockers, sick setup! The most durable home made transmission in a go kart. Damn!! This looks like what they did when they used Offenhauser engines at the track and needed custom transmissions.

[@jackrichards1863]

Looks like our skilled producer & engineer may have bottled this series for unknown reasons . It's still 3 speed & reverse box finished The addition of grooves on the outsides of the dogs for selectors and some spring loaded detents will have it shiftable . Completeing the case will allow oil bath lubrication. But seeing it done was the exercise really. There are so many used car gearboxes about something the right size w. 5spd & reverse must be easy to retrofit ? Great job "..B welding" . I enjoyed the story. And 10,000 others too. 0.8% of viewers ticked a different tune which is outstanding approval.

subscribed because of this video. ive had the idea to build a GN/Frazer-Nash style chain gang transmission using gokart parts so i love seeing somebody actually doing it! super interested in how it holds up under use long term.

[@francistheodorecatte]

might wanna ream out the non-keyed sprockets, and put some bronze bushings with spiral oil grooves in them. since the gokart shafts are hardened steel, I'm not sure annealed steel will last super long, even with an oil bath. otherwise, your transmission is looking pretty good! can't wait to see you try and figure out the shift linkage... 😺

[@shelby5886]

Kinda what I was thinking

[@johnwalker7592]

The bronze bushing will wear out the harden steel shaft before it sacrifices itself. So actually the softened steel on the hardened steel is a better combo.

[@Azlehria]

@@johnwalker7592 Off the shelf parts are easier to replace than custom.

[@hepburn118]

@@johnwalker7592 Bronze bushings are softer than hardened steel, so how will that work. The only time I ever see shaft or sprocket/gear wear on their bore is when the bush is gone, because no one lubed it or checked it, and it's steel on steel. The only time I have ever seen a bush wear out a shaft was when I was dealing with a really hard bronze like aluminium bronze. Normal composition bronze wont wear hardened steel in my experience. They are sacrificial, made to be that way. You might have a different experience, tell me if you do please. Always keen to learn

[@crazyguy32100]

I'm impressed. I see a possible issue with being able to get it into 3rd and reverse at the same time. If you haven't already came up with a shifter concept may I suggest one? Groove the shifter dogs then harden them. Get a small deep groove ball bearing, 608 should work and they are dirt cheap, have it run in the groove rather than a shifter fork, otherwise you are getting into a fully sealed case with oiling. For the shifter itself it is hard to explain but I think an "H" pattern. Have the shifter pivot with 1 side engaging 2/3 and the other R/1, run 2 pairs of cables (2 per dog, pull each direction) so you aren't shifting sideways. Hope you get it going, if I had the equipment I would build one myself.

[@mmckinley345]

Great job but a lot of work to design something easily obtained. Just pull one from a small truck or even a lawnmower, The engineering is behind it and you can use a clutch instead of clunky dogs that aren't designed to do what you are doing with them. Using a clutch is much smoother and makes the transition from one speed to another easier. Finding an aluminum trans for a front wheel drive car with a transaxle with the clutch pedal box and bell housing shouldn't take more than a couple of hours to pull if they don't have one already pulled and costs much less than you have just in the plate alone . . The reason I say anything is I have chased down this rainbow on a project and found many times using something off the shelf already designed parts, ready for stresses and loads works much better than anything designed in the garage. Thanks for great content it's been a pleasure to watch your channel grow. Plus if the part fails an easily found replacement can be purchased quickly. Many times we forget the end goal of getting things going and projects get derailed as we get caught up in the details and wanting to make everything perfect when good enough will do. This is why some restorations can go on for years and never get completed. Reinventing the wheel is fine but just know its been done and by someone probably smarter than you and I.

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

The non-key'd gears have to have bronze bushings or something in them at least, I dont think they'll last long without it, and also transmission shafts are SUPER smoothe, like ground on a surface grinder and are hardened, Go-Kart axles will last 5 minutes-

not saying ur wrong. but he did make a 2 speed one without being in a box of oil or having any fancy seals. and that thing is still running strong after 1-2 years

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

@@nickkaarslev290 His other ones (like all his Buggies) are built for KZbin videos, you see how they just sit for months and years under Tarps out in the rain, on the side of the shed, not used? They seem to get very little actual hours on them- Also, those other sliding-pin 2-speed designs dont have gears on spinning shafts that make tons of friction between each gear and the shaft theyre on...... they are all keyed to the shafts

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

@@carabela125 a box of oil doesnt make super soft go-kart axles withstand the friction and forces of high speed spinning mild steel (soft) bushings on them much less of a grenade........ ALL transmissions (even the crappy ones in a Lawn tractor) have hardened gears and ground, hardened shafts, and bronze bushings-

Good. Finally someone with enough guts to attempt a forward & reverse mini transmission build. Nice work so far. Give it a lid that's wide, and easy to remove because without roller bearings for each sprocket and dog-clutch, it'll need periodic rebuilding. I recommend synthetic 90 weight oil for it. It'll give it the best chance. Thanks for the vid, man!
