Abstract
A one-way clutch carrier assembly for a transmission includes an outer ring and a carrier. The outer ring has an outer surface with radially extending teeth. The carrier circumscribes the outer ring. The carrier has an undulating outer surface with teeth for receiving a plurality of clutch plates, an undulating inner surface with teeth for receiving the outer ring teeth, and an inwardly extending tab for limiting axial displacement of the outer ring in the carrier. In an example embodiment, the outer ring includes a first circumferential surface with a first radius and a second circumferential surface with a second radius, larger than the first radius. The carrier inwardly extending tab has a third radius that is smaller than the second radius.
