This patent describes a one-way clutch mounting for an automatic transmission, comprising: an inner spline formed on a one-way clutch retaining member; an outer spline formed on the outer race of the one-way clutch and loosely meshed with the inner spline; and a leaf spring interposed between a side wall surface of the inner spline of the retaining member and an opposing side wall surface of the outer spline of the outer race to urge the outer race constantly in the locking direction of the one-way clutch. The leaf spring comprises a body portion pressed against the side wall surface of the inner spline when fitted in position, and an arm portion extended out from the body portion and being folded to form an extended elbow portion and a distal claw portion. The extended elbow portion and the claw portion are axially spaced and arranged on opposite sides of the outer race to hold the outer race therebetween.
