It TRIGGERS somewhat like a Mousetrap.....
when Engage Pawl is Unlocked,, which is"Triggered" by the shaft's rotation.....
The Retracted Pawl is Released to simply be pushed sideways by the thrust spring pressure.
The Pawl Teeth are undercut a bit,,,so engagement is more positive under Foot Pressure.
Tooth angle tends to wedge the 2 pieces tighter together when shaft torque is applied .

POSSIBLE for a retainer to fail on Idler Gear Shaft,,,
Makes a scary noise when Idler walks down it's shaft and
lets the gear contact back of Clutch---
while the 2 overlapping surfaces are travelling at different speeds cuz of the reduction ration.
What bike should I use to learn on ?
So check the Idler Gears end float,,
and Definitely whatever retains the gear in specific position.
(Usually a snapring & thrust washer---on yours I dunno??)
Whatever method to retain the Idler Gear's position,,,it'll be obvious.
