Abstract
A braking clutch is provided for a transmission which includes a transmission housing and a plurality of planetary gear members. The braking clutch includes a floating caliper movably supported on the transmission housing. An apply hub is actuated by an electric motor. A rotor is operatively connected to one of the planetary gear members and has a portion extending between the floating caliper and the apply hub to enable selective braking of rotation of the rotor by frictionally engaging the portion of the rotor between the floating caliper and apply hub, thereby braking rotation of the planetary gear member.
