More Information
Summary:A work vehicle drive assembly has a bimodal clutch module that includes a pressure plate, a module housing containing first and second cavities located on opposing sides of the pressure plate, and an actuator. The actuator is controllable to move the pressure plate along a working axis of the clutch module. A clutch member is installed in a selected one of the first and second cavities. The clutch member is (i) engaged by movement of the pressure plate along the working axis in a first direction when the clutch member is installed in the first cavity and (ii) disengaged by movement of the pressure plate along the working axis in the first direction when the clutch member is installed in the second cavity.
