90001 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A one-way sprag clutch assembly for use in an automatic transmission or similar application including an inner race (42), an outer race (44) having a pair of annular grooves (63,68) cut in the interior surface (45) thereof, and a clutch assembly (41) having an inner cage member (46), an outer cage member (53) and an intermediate energizing spring (49), said cage members and spring having generally aligned openings (47,51,55) receiving a plurality of sprags (48) therein. The outer cage member (53) is formed with an integral side wall (56) perpendicular to the outer annular cage to form, with an end cap (64) on the opposite end of the assembly, lubrication escape barriers for lubricant in the assembly; said side wall (56) having either an annular protrusion or a plurality of radially extending axial positioning protrusions (62) received in one of the annular grooves (63) and a snap ring (67) received in the other groove (68) to retain the end cap (64) from axial movement, and drag lands (58) formed on a plurality of spaced crossbars (57) in the cage member extending radially outwardly from the crossbars to terminate in arcuate surfaces (61) engaging the interior surface (45) of the outer race (44) to provide for inertia resistance for the clutch assembly (41) relative to the races (42,44).
