I have been told that you should tighten it all the way then off a 1/4 turn.

Well, that's true on the slippers that have the spring under the nut to keep pressure on the plate. Some have pressure washers, and if you tighten them down all the way, you flatten them. Which means you have to crank it tight to get it not to slip. This problem sounds more like a one way bearing that is only working sometimes. Though I am not familiar with this trans/vehicle at all. Hang tight, somebody will have the info you need.

yeat but its not the one with the sping..it only has a 2peed cluch attachet to the spur gear w/o the spring..it is mor similar to an hpi touring car

It's probably a dirty or bad one way bearing. Each of the gears will have one on the plates they bolt to.
