Abstract
A hybrid module includes a rotor carrier having an axially extending portion and a radially extending portion; and a torque converter assembly arranged radially inside of the axially extending portion. The torque converter assembly includes: an impeller having an impeller shell non-rotatably connected to the axially extending portion; a turbine in fluid communication with the impeller and having a turbine shell arranged axially between the impeller and the radially extending portion; and a lock-up clutch. The lock-up clutch includes a plurality of clutch plates, a clutch plate carrier connected to at least some of the plurality of clutch plates, and a piston axially slidable along the clutch plate carrier to engage the plurality of clutch plates. The clutch plate carrier is non-rotatably connected to the turbine shell. An apply chamber is bounded in part by the turbine shell, the piston, and the clutch plater carrier.
