My understanding of 'dog drive' is of a positive engagement, usually by lugs engaging with each other as opposed to a friction engagement as in a clutch(centrifugal or otherwise).

Yes, a dog is a positive on/off drive mechanism. A centrifugal clutch wouldn't be considered a 'drive dog'.

Silly me, I thought this thread was going to be about cruising around in an old Commodore or Falcon.

Yes lugs or splines like the old TQ Midgets
Full engage or full disengage, nothing in between
