The brake activation apparatus comprises first and second brake devices capable of being selectively applied, a shifting mechanism for selectively applying either the first or second brake device and not the other, a mechanism for overriding the shifting mechanism for applying both of the first and second brake devices, and a mechanism for releasing the override during both normal and manual operation. The apparatus is useful in a power drive unit comprising a carrier having first and second planetary gears rotatably mounted on the carrier, first and second rotatably mounted sun gears in meshing engagement with the respective planetary gears, the sun gears each having a drive output portion for driving respective devices and a braking portion for cooperation with the first and second brake devices to control the output of the power drive unit by selectively braking the respective sun gears.
