Abstract
A torque converter in which the standard one-way clutch, otherwise known as an overrunning brake, on the reactor, otherwise known as a stator, is replaced with a jaw clutch. When the jaw clutch is engaged, the reactor is non-rotate. When the jaw clutch is disengaged, the reactor spins freely. The jaw clutch can be placed on the same hydraulic fluid circuit as a bypass clutch.
