A hybrid assembly, including: a torque converter; a shaft; a hybrid module; and a module hub. The torque converter includes: a cover; an impeller; a turbine; a stator; and an output hub arranged to non-rotatably connect to a transmission input shaft. The shaft is arranged to receive torque and includes a channel. The hybrid module includes: an electric motor including a stator and a rotor non-rotatably connected to the cover; and a transfer clutch arranged to control transmission of the torque from the shaft to the cover. The hub is non-rotatably connected to the cover and includes a channel: connected to the torque converter; and arranged to receive first pressurized fluid from a first channel in the transmission input shaft. The channel of the shaft is arranged to receive second pressurized fluid, from a second channel in the transmission input shaft, to control operation of the transfer clutch.
