Kick back hub slipping

[Rusty Klunker]

Interesting. Red band high speed should be knurled. That high looks screw type maybe yellow/blue band clutch? Someone mix match previously?

All red bands came with a knurled AB-23. Early yellow and blue bands also came with the same knurled AB-23. Don't know the exact date but around 67 Bendix updated the part to the screw type in the yellow and blue bands (red was out of production).
I put the newer versions in yellow bands with no issues.

At least from new they aren't that dysfunctional, unless we are talking about Eagle RH clutches.
Buying used and not verifying yourself that it does shift, will bite you most every time though. If someone is selling a kickback an not riding it, there might be a reason they are getting rid of it... Lol

Thank you sir for the support, Mr. LOL. NOT....

I can't remember which driver came first, the swirl or the knurl pattern. It is a difference between early and late hubs. I'm pretty certain if the clutch threads onto the driver, they are fully interchangeable. The high speed(RH) clutch is present and does look NOS, so that's a good thing. Looks like the index spring is facing the correct way, and it appears to have tried to shift between pictures, but didn't fully engage. Could have only been partially driven there...?

Diagram for reference...

Sounds like the right side dust cover wants to stick out too far? Could it be that one of the part number 21 pins is in backwards or just not flush on the inside between the drivers? Or a loose ball out of place... Or I bet it's just a matter of needing to seat the bearing(caged RH one) in the cup(driver) first, and then push the cone(sun or pinion gear) into the bearing. Try seating that first and let us know if both clutches(parts 12 and 14) drive when turning the sprocket. They won't be at the same speed. Make sure you turn the sprocket a couple of revolutions to let any gear lash be taken up when doing this, then try and back pedal to where the brake engages to ensure a good shift. Turn the sprocket forward a couple of revolutions again and let us know if it is shifting like I described earlier.
We can look at the retarder springs next if it's still behaving poorly. I'll be able to get pictures of a temporary fix for those when I get home from work later.

Thanks again for the help, I'll keep you posted when I have time.
All the best,
