The 2 speed clutch is a 2 stage clutch. As the shoes fly out under spring pressure it engages the clutch bell. This rotates the shoes and engages the clutch cam locking the clutch shoes in place with no slip.

When the car changes into 2nd there will be a reduction in revs with the same throttle input resulting in a jump in amp loads. Whether this results in wheel spin or just an increase in acceleration can only be known with testing. The obvious thing to do would be to decrease throttle input but knowing when the car changes might be a problem.

The car will have a gyro so will track straight even if it spins the wheels.
