One-Way Clutch (OWC) - Overdrive (O/D)

For component location, refer to Transmission Transmission Assembly.

The O/D OWC is a sprag-type OWC that connects the input shaft to the center shaft during drive operation.

The O/D OWC transmits torque in REVERSE, 1st, 3rd and 4th gears, as well as in manual 1st, manual 3rd and manual 4th gears.

- The input shaft connects through the O/D planetary carrier to the inner race.
- The outer race is part of the center shaft.
- The inner race contacts the assembly of sprags, and wedges them between the inner and outer races.
- The wedging action causes the input shaft and center shaft to be connected.
