The bold/underlined part is confusing but I'm going to guess the sound your hearing is the one way clutch (bearing) in the centrifugal clutch. It is probably just starting to go bad giving you the winding down sound and then a loud clunk. The engine braking will be affected by this also once in a while also, it will just want to free wheel when going downhill.
