Abstract
A torque converter includes an impeller and a turbine configured to fluidly couple with the impeller. A bypass clutch has a hydraulically actuated piston, an apply chamber, and a compensation chamber. A turbine hub is attached to the turbine and has an inner circumferential surface defining axially extending teeth configured to connect with a shaft. A flow-control sleeve is axially spaced from the turbine hub and has a radial tab portion attached to the turbine. The sleeve defines an orifice in fluid communication with the apply chamber or the compensation chamber.
