Abstract
A turbine damper assembly, for a torque converter, includes a driven plate and an intermediate plate. The driven plate engages and drives the intermediate plate through elastic drive elements. The driven plate includes an axially extended, circumferentially oriented, driven plate flange that both centers the intermediate plate with respect to the drive plate and also assists in containing the elastic drive elements in circumferential curved cavities during and after assembly of the turbine damper assembly.
