A sprag clutch is a one way clutch typically used for the starter. I'm pretty sure the NC30/35 doesn't have one in any other function.

It does use one in the clutch function.

Not typically a true slipper clutch by todays standards, but like Jon said it eases pressure on teh clutch under heavy engine braking.
