PCT No. PCT/FR96/01291 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 24, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 24, 1998 PCT Filed Aug. 16, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/08478 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 6, 1997A clutch engaged by means of flyweights and a spring directly meshes an input sun gear and an output planet gear carrier. When engagement pressure is insufficient for torque to be transmitted, a crown wheel slows down and is stopped by a free wheel, while an axial thrust (Pac) produced by helical teeth releases the clutch, so that the device functions as a step down device. A control unit accelerates the onset of the procedure. The device enhances the comfort and reduces stresses of the transmission.
