A drivetrain subassembly includes a clutch portion and a gear shaft portion connected by an integrated inner race/gear shaft member. The clutch portion includes a sprag clutch configured to transfer torque from an engine to a rotor system while allowing the rotor system to continue to rotate in the event of an engine failure. The inner race of the clutch portion is integrally formed with the gear shaft of the gear shaft portion of the subassembly. The gear shaft is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the sprag clutch for transmitting torque from the sprag clutch to a downstream drivetrain component.
