Abstract
A hybrid drive module, including: a torque converter with an output shaft, a cover for connection to a flex plate for an internal combustion engine, an impeller non-rotatably connected to the cover, a turbine, and a torsional damper including an input part non-rotatably connected to the turbine, an output part non-rotatably connected to the output shaft, and at least one circumferentially aligned coil spring engaged with the input part and output parts; an output hub arranged to non-rotatably connect to a transmission input shaft; and a disconnect clutch assembly including a first clutch component non-rotatably connected to the output hub and arranged to non-rotatably connect to an electric motor and a second clutch component non-rotatably connected to the output shaft. A torque path from the cover to the output hub passes through in sequence: the turbine, the damper, the output shaft, the second clutch component, and the first clutch component.
