As you say Dan, a skipping sensation is what it must be, not actual jumping of teeth or coupling rubbers. I suspect some sort of winding up and release suddenly when traction is lost momentarily. Can you tell me which type of coupling Centa used and where to find the picture? I would be most grateful.
