Abstract
The rotary output element of a hydrokinetic torque converter can receive torque with limited play from the turbine or directly from the housing by way of a damper which operates in series with a lockup clutch. The lockup clutch can be engaged to transmit torque from the housing of the torque converter to the damper and the latter then transmits torque to the output element.
