A power take-off system for a gas turbine engine includes a starter coupled to a second spool, and a clutch assembly coupled between the starter and a first spool, the clutch assembly configured to couple the first spool to the starter when starting the gas turbine engine assembly. A method of assembling a gas turbine engine assembly that includes the power take-off system, and a gas turbine engine assembly including the power take-off system are also described.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for assembling a gas turbine engine assembly including a first spool including a high-pressure compressor, a high-pressure turbine, and shaft coupled between the high-pressure compressor and the high-pressure turbine, and a second spool that is disposed coaxially with the first spool, said method comprising:coupling a starter to the second spool using a drive shaft; andcoupling a clutch assembly between the starter and the first spool, wherein the clutch assembly includes a clutch and a clutch actuator configured to axially move a portion of the clutch to at least one of selectively couple the starter to the first spool when starting the gas turbine engine assembly and selectively uncouple the starter from the first spool after the gas turbine engine assembly has started.
