The present invention broadly comprises a one-way clutch, including inner and outer races and a clutch element. The outer race is arranged for rotational connection to a torque transmitting element and rotates independently of the inner race for relative rotation in a first direction. The clutch element is connected to the outer race and includes at least one engagement element radially disposed between the races. The element is biased radially inward and arranged to rotationally lock the races in response to rotation in a second direction. The present invention also broadly comprises a one-way clutch with inner and outer races, at least one engagement element, and at least one elastically deformable element. One of the races is arranged for connection to a torque transmitting element. The engagement element is radially disposed between the races and is radially asymmetrical. The deformable element biases the engagement element in a rotational direction.
