A method of connecting a starter ring gear connected with a converter cover, and a torque converter including a starter ring gear connected with a converter cover by the method. The method includes setting the starter ring gear at a corner portion of the converter cover in alignment with each other, and producing a plastic flow of metal at the corner portion thereof, the plastic flow of metal forming an engaging member disposed on an outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical wall of the converter cover and engaged with an engaging member disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the starter ring gear, to thereby connect the starter ring gear with the converter cover. The starter ring gear and the converter cover are rotatable about a rotation axis. The corner portion of the converter cover is formed between the cylindrical wall and a disk wall connected therewith.
