1st. That's not how to make a spring engine.
2nd. problems with transmission.

This is a very simple spring engine: Make a circle, center hinge, and connect a spring to the circle. Put -2 damping and max strenght to the spring. THis will probably explode without slowers, because it gets speed more and more.

More stable than a conventional negative-damping engine, and no torque applied to the chassis—in other words, it doesn't push on its mount point in a way that can cause your vehicle to flip over.
