Abstract
A clutch assembly with a clutch input, first and second clutch outputs, a first clutch pack between the clutch input and the first clutch output, and a second clutch pack between the clutch input and the second clutch output. A clutch spring is positioned in the clutch assembly to engage the first clutch pack so that rotary power is normally transmitted from the clutch input, through the first clutch pack to the first clutch output. Disengagement of the first clutch pack occurs automatically when the second clutch pack is engaged to transmit rotary power between the clutch input and the second clutch output.
