Abstract
A lock-up device includes a clutch part, an input plate, an output plate, torsion springs and an input plate support member. The clutch part is disposed between a front cover and a turbine, and is configured to allow or block transmission of a torque. The input plate is coupled to a clutch output member of the clutch part. The output plate is fixed to a turbine shell. The torsion springs are disposed between the input plate and the output plate, and absorb and attenuate a torsional vibration. The input plate support member is fixed to a front cover side of a turbine shell and positions the input plate in a radial direction and an axial direction.
