Freewheel.
Hi Roman, congratulations on your purchase. What I think you are describing is the "freewheel" feature of the Bristol gearbox. This disengages the drive when you take your foot off the accelerator and engages it again when accelerating. (This is useful when moving in slow traffic for example). However, it can break if used violently, eg in Hillclimbs or Motorsports and therefore some people "lock it out" when rebuilding the gearbox. If it works ok then leave it and enjoy the advantages!
Kind regards,
Chris.
