Abstract

A one-way clutch biasing means for an automatic transmission, comprising: an inner spline formed on a one-way clutch retaining member; an outer spline formed on the outer race of the one-way clutch and loosely meshed with the inner spline; and a resilient member fitted between a side wall surface of the inner spline of the retaining member and an opposing side wall surface of the outer spline of the outer race to urge the outer race constantly in the locking direction of the one-way clutch.
