A hydraulic torque converter which comprises a pump wheel having an engine output shaft coupled thereto, and a turbine wheel having a turbine output shaft connected thereto, wherein the turbine wheel is coupled to the pump wheel through a fluid coupling for the transmission of power therebetween. A one-way clutch and an on-off clutch are connected in series, the serially connected clutches being connected between the pump wheel and the turbine wheel. When the on-off clutch is engaged and the one-way clutch is engaged, the turbine wheel is mechanically coupled to the pump wheel for the transmission of power thereto.
