• a cage located between the inner ring and the outer ring, including a resilient element, and rotatable with respect to the outer ring by an actuator;
• and,
• a pawl including a portion disposed in the pocket, wherein in a locked mode of the switchable three-mode clutch the resilient element is free of contact with the pawl and the pawl and the inner ring are non-rotatably connected, and in a one-way mode of the switchable three-mode clutch the resilient element urges the pawl into contact with the inner ring and relative rotation of the inner ring with respect to the outer ring is enabled only in a first rotational direction.

A switchable three-mode clutch, comprising:

• an inner ring;
• an outer ring including a pocket;
• a cage including a ramp extending radially inwardly in a first rotational direction;
• and,
• a pawl including a portion disposed in the pocket, wherein in a locked mode of the switchable three-mode clutch the ramp is in contact with the pawl and displaces the pawl into non-rotatable connection with the inner ring, and in a one-way mode of the switchable three-mode clutch the ramp is free of contact with the pawl and relative rotation of the inner ring with respect to the outer ring is enabled only in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction.
