How does an automatic transmission's one way clutch/clutches work?

The reason we are discussing dirt bike clutches is because your original question references all these concepts…as it contains one of each example.

The auto trans clutched planetary gear sets…with bands on the outside of the planetary to switch the ratios…the clutch pack is in the center of it all…to uncouple the thing at will.

Its all extremely clever if you ask me…surely is not cutting edge as these are old designs…

Amazing I say
