A roller control car type roller clutch with simplified installation of cars to cage. Each cage pocket includes a pair of parallel, axially flexible side rails arrayed generally along the shallow arcuate travel path of a roller. Each control car fits closely between the side rails, in their free and unflexed state, and includes a track which forces the rails axially apart when the cars are pushed radially in between the rails in a straight line motion. The rails snap back and into the track to slidably capture the cars. Neither the roller nor the spring is necessary to the retention of car to cage, and the car need not be carefully aligned with the rails before installation.
