Abstract
A slip control system for a lock up clutch incorporated in parallel with a fluid torque converter in a transmission, including a pump incorporated in a hub member for supporting a turbine of the torque converter from an output shaft of the transmission so as to provide a delivery proportional to the difference in rotation between the input and output sides of the torque converter, and a spool valve also incorporated in the hub member to be operated by the delivery fluid pressure for engaging the lock up clutch as the delivery pressure of the pump increases, the spool valve also being overridingly operated by a fluid pressure selectively supplied from an outside fluid pressure source to completely throttle the fluid passage when desired.
