Abstract
A clutch for selectively coupling first and second rotational members includes a hub rotatable about an axis and connectable to the first rotational member, and a carrier rotatable about the axis and connectable to the second rotational member. One of the hub and the carrier defines an annular groove and the other of the hub and the carrier defines a ramped surface. A wedge plate of the clutch has a first edge disposed on the ramped surface, a second edge disposed in the annular groove, and a face extending between the edges and defining an annular shoulder. An annular resilient member is seated against the shoulder.
