Patent ID: 6902046

Claim:
A sprag clutch assembly for a land motor vehicle transmission, said sprag clutch assembly comprising: at least one interchangeable inner race including an internal spline having a predetermined number of spline teeth formed therein; a cylindrical outer race radially disposed about said inner race; a sprag assembly including a plurality of sprag elements, wherein said sprag assembly is disposed intermediate said inner race and said outer race; and a pair of stator end caps disposed in interlocking engagement with said inner race and said outer race such that said races are held in concentric relation to support unidirectional wedging of said sprag elements between said inner and said outer races said inner race and said outer race being captured within mating concentric counterbores formed in each of said pair of stator end caps, said counterbores being machined to a precise concentricity tolerance to minimize eccentric loading of said inner race and said outer race during operation.
