Abstract
Disclosed is a balancer for a damper in a lock-up clutch. An unbalance-correcting weight which is to be mounted on a retainer plate of the lockup clutch is in a folded form of an E shape formed of a central insert portion and riding portions located on opposite sides of the central insert portion. The retainer plate is provided with a raised portion formed therein. The unbalance-correcting weight is mounted on the retainer plate by inserting the insert portion outwardly in a radial direction between a piston of the lock-up clutch and the raised portion of the retainer plate.
