A drive disconnect clutch assembly, including: an input component arranged to receive torque from a motor; an output gear; and a clutch including: a flexible piston plate; at least one clutch plate; at least one wedge plate; and friction material disposed between the at least one clutch plate and the at least one wedge plate. For a synchronizing mode, the flexible piston plate is arranged to displace in an axial direction to engage the at least one clutch plate with the at least one wedge plate to enable transfer of torque from the input component to the output gear. For a locked mode, a first portion of the flexible piston plate is arranged to further displace in the first axial direction to expand the at least one wedge plate radially outward and non-rotatably connect the at least one wedge plate, the input component, and the output gear.
