Honda had a centrifugal clutch in the early '80's ATC's. It extended the crankshaft on the right side, so the cover was deeper. The centrifugal clutch would subsequently activate the regular clutch, which was nearly identical to the clutch we have in our Honda clone China bikes. The gearbox can be whatever setup after that. Much like Pete indicated, all you did was back off the throttle to shift gears. When you came to a stop and let off the throttle, it would idle down and disengage so you didn't stall. Neat setup.
