Low One-Way Clutch

The low one-way clutch is a roller type one-way clutch which allows the transaxle case to hold the reverse/overdrive carrier stationary when the transaxle is in first gear. The low one-way clutch will only hold the reverse/overdrive carrier assembly during acceleration. When coasting, the low one-way clutch will overrun, disconnecting the final drive from the compound planetary gearset.
