OK, so a manual slide is replaced by an air operated slide. I know the free spool was a pain on both of my high mounts simply because they tended to seize up with inaction. I guess if the mechanics are inside the drum they are protected, and there probably is a lot more avail force to engage/disengage?

Somewhat similar to a starter motor bendix throwing into action except the exact opposite reaction I believe Philstar.
I think when our air is applied it throws the cogg forward off the piston line for unhindered barrel release.

The old school warn way of free spooling is pretty crude really as you would remember. It's pretty dam hard top pull out as your spinning all the gears up to the motor. The freespool delete supports everything much stronger and also makes sure it can't pop out into freespool on its own. The air freespool is in the drum between the drum and spline which goes into the bottom gear so disconnects it right at the drum end. Can't really see it, mechanism is in center of drum but tested it on bench and seems to work, put air to it and will disengage. Assume it is a piston that moves a splined section in & returns with spring pressure or similar. .

Yeah near on useless I reckon, lucky there's a million and one upgrades for them! At least spooling out with the motor aint too bad they're reasonably quick. .

Probably use it lol, but maybe taller 5th gear if we ever get to stretch out legs and bring our germs to other states . .
