Abstract

A slip control mechanism comprises a throttling path with a cross-sectional area variable according to the relative displacement of an output element of a torque converter and an output shaft. The throttling path is in communication via a fluid passage with a disengagement chamber opposing one side of a friction clutch. The other side of the friction clutch faces an engagement chamber. The disengagement chamber and the engagement chambers are so arranged as to control slippage of the friction clutch by pressure balance therebetween. The throttling path is formed in a specific geometry which assures moderate changes in the pressure balance between the disengagement chamber and engagement chamber in an intermediate throttling range. In the preferred construction, the throttling path is so constructed that the rate of change of the throttling cross-sectional area satisifes the inequality
