Abstract:
A one-way clutch includes a clutch body and body bore. A clutch plate stack includes first, second, and third clutch plates, the first and third clutch plates fixed to the clutch body. The second clutch plate rotates axially on a longitudinal axis. The first clutch plate includes a first strut cavity and the second clutch plate includes a second strut cavity. A forward strut is rotatably connected to the second clutch plate and biased toward the first clutch plate. The forward strut when positioned in the first strut cavity defines a clutch engaged position preventing second clutch plate rotation in a first rotational direction, while allowing rotation in a second rotational direction. A reverse strut slidably disposed in a strut bore extends through the third clutch plate, is partially positioned in the second strut cavity and is displaced in the strut bore during rotation of the second clutch plate.
