today I ran my 710 for the first time this year and when I started it up and hit the gas the car did not move, so I kept hitting the gas but the car stayed in place as the engine was reving high. I then looked at the clutch and gears and they were moving but the wheels would not ingage, after a few second I heard a loud click and the car started moving, 2 minutes later it did it again for a few seconds, then it started moving again, then I noticed loud clicks when shifting that I never heard before, I then took the two speed out to check the oneway and I could not turn it with my hand, so it appears to be working, could it be for some reason it sticking in second, but if it was shouldnt the car move slow? does anyone have any ideas I would appreciate it
Definately sounds like the one-way bearing is slipping. Remove the gearbox and pour a little fuel around the one-way. Try the car and if it runs fine then the one-way bearing needs replaced.

If not the one-way bearing it could be the shoe or weights in the clutch are badly worn and are not engaging properly.
