The one-way bearing acts like a mechanical diode, its behavior is determined by the difference in angular velocities, not just the inner shaft's motion. If X is first gear RPM and Y is shaft RPM, the OWB just enforces the relationship Y ≥ X. Shaft RPM is greater than gear RPM when freewheeling...

Yes No - the direction of the OWB is such that when second gear engages, the shaft is turning faster than first gear, which is the direction the OWB allows - it doesn't allow the shaft to turn slower than first, or backwards, which is why rolling it backwards spins the transmission, unless: in...
