Low one-way clutch
The Low One-Way Clutch (OWC) is a brake clutch that holds the planetary carrier rear in one direction and allows it to freewheel in the opposite direction, which prevents engine braking in 1st gear when the transmission is in DRIVE. The Low One-Way Clutch (OWC) is also the reaction plate for the Intermediate (2, 6) clutch.
