<p>A hydrokinetic torque converter includes an impeller cover (14) and a bypass clutch located within the impeller cover (14). The impeller cover (14) has welded to it a clutch plate (70), which is connected by a splined connection (68) to a clutch piston (60) rotatably supported on a turbine rotor (26). A drive ring (74) carries friction surfaces (80) adjacent the clutch piston (60) and clutch plate (74). The drive ring (74) extends axially into engagement with a helical spring (102) carried in a damper assembly (100, 102) arranged in series with the damper between the impeller cover (14) and the input shaft of the transmission.</p> |
