i know this is old but i just got one of these hub that had the same problem. it is the index spring. to get mine working i simply bent the end of the index spring out so that the tip made better contact with the splines inside the first clutch (it was a good few mm shorter than it used to be) it would probably be best to get a new spring but that would require a lot of effort to source as they are quite hard to come by

I have rebuilt many Bendix red, yellow and blue band hubs. I live in Australia and have purchased a lot of Bendix spare parts from USA vintage bike shops and have developed a lot of contacts for parts. If any one is after refurbished Bendix 2 speeds or even new hubs stripped and re greased, drop me a line on walshfamily@westnet.com.au. I can give advise on repairing your own if needed SHLAW64

Red and yellow had ratios that were low .67:1 and second gear 1:1 I believe.
Blue came on Stingrays only I believe and had 1:1 and then overdrive.
Red was a disc style brake and yellow and blue were expander brake shoes.
I’m new to the hobby; hence all the ‘I believes.’
Hope that helps

That’s a good start. Thanks for your time, Flatsguy.
