ABSTRACT:
A system for actuating, in a torque converter for an automotive vehicle, a fluid operated clutch for directly coupling an impeller of a torque converter with the turbine in a predetermined driving condition. Line pressure applied to a band servo of the brake band in the automatic transmission for the torque converter is used for actuating oil for the fluid operated clutch, and a control valve is provided in the pressure oil circuit controlled by a governor pressure. The control valve is so arranged that a port of the valve is opened to apply the line pressure to the clutch to couple the impeller with the turbine when the speed of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined mined valve.
