Zusammenfassung:A selectable one-way clutch (SOWC) (10) is provided for use with a vehicle transmission, and has a first race (14) with a plurality of strut (76) pockets (16), a moveable selector plate (38), symmetrical torque-holding elements or struts (76), and a second race (18) that is rotatably engageable with a torque input device. The selector plate (38) has a plurality of windows, and the struts selectively prevent rotation of the second race (18) in either rotational direction depending on the position of the selector plate (38). The struts (76) have a cylindrical portion and a pair of strut wings (28A) each having a free end (46,32). The strut wings (28) connect to the cylindrical portion (26), and a different one of the free ends (46,32) engages a strut pocket (16) when an opposite strut wing is depressed in order to prevent rotation of the second race (18).
