The One-Way Clutch (OWC) is a brake clutch that holds the sun gears No. 1 and 2 in one direction and allows it to freewheel in the opposite direction eliminating engine braking in 1st gear when the transmission is in drive. The rollers of the OWC lock to a inner race that is part of the front support assembly.
