Abstract
A stator assembly of a torque converter includes a stator having circumferentially arranged blades, an inner ring, and projections circumferentially arranged around the inner ring and extending radially inward therefrom. An annular plate is circumscribed by the inner ring and has a plurality of attachment portions circumferentially arranged around an outer surface of the plate. Each of the attachment portions engages with an associated one of the projections and has a pair of spaced anti-rotation tabs that define a receptacle. The receptacle receives the associated one of the projections to prevent relative rotation between the stator and the plate.
