The uni-directional clutch will transmit a

drive when rotated in one direction and will

'freewheel' when turned in the opposite direction.

The one-way clutch

has rollers that move up the ramps and the

wedging action provides a drive from the inner

to the outer member. If the outer member

rotates faster, then the rollers will move down

the ramps to the wider section and no drive will

be passed to the inner member.

The main units in an overdrive are a simple

epicyclic gear train, a hydraulically operated friction

clutch and a uni-directional (one way) clutch.

The uni-directional clutch will transmit a

drive when rotated in one direction and will

'freewheel' when turned in the opposite direction.
