<p>A fluid power transmission (11) which comprises: a pump impeller (14); a turbine runner (15); a housing (13) accommodating the pump impeller (14) and the turbine runner (15); a lock-up clutch (26) adapted to be engaged with and released from a front (13A) cover integrated with the pump impeller (14); and a viscous coupling (21) including an annular drive member (19) and an annular driven member (18) for transmitting torque inbetween through viscous fluid. The drive member (19) is connected to the lock-up clutch (26), whereas the driven member (18) is connected to a hub (17A) which is integrated with the turbine runner (15). Further comprised is a second clutch (27) which is engaged, after the lock-up clutch (26) has been engaged, to connect the drive member (19) and the driven member (18) mechanically. <IMAGE></p> |
