A FLEXIBLE COUPLING A flexible coupling (1) is provided for use in a motor vehicle to transmit drive between two coaxial rotating elements of differing radii, for example between an engine output shaft and a torque converter shell. The coupling includes substantially rigid means (2) and axially resilient means (8), the substantially rigid means being connectible to the element of smaller radius and the axially resilient means being connectible to the element of larger radius. The substantially rigid means (2) is connected to the axially resilient means (8) at first connections (19) and the axially resilient means is connectible to the element of larger radius at second connections (14) spaced from the first connections (19), the first connections lying at a radius from the coupling axis of more than half that of the second connections (14).
