Abstract
A clutch assembly is provided for a vehicle having at least one primary driven axle supporting a first wheel and at least one secondary driven axle supporting a second wheel. The at least one primary driven axle is driven by a vehicle transmission. The clutch assembly includes a clutch movable between a first position, wherein the transmission engages the at least one secondary driven axle when the first wheel slips and disengages the at least one secondary driven axle when the first wheel does not slip, and a second position, wherein the at least one secondary driven axle engages the transmission to provide engine braking. A single actuator is operable to move the clutch between the first and second positions.
