ABSTRACT:
An assembly of a one-way clutch and a liquid thrust bearing is provided which can absorb an axial load due to a stator of a torque converter, thereby reducing the number of parts as compared to a conventional torque converter using a mechanical thrust bearing. In order to attain the object, the one-way clutch is mounted on a boss portion of a stator of a torque converter, a bearing support is disposed between outer and inner rings of the one-way clutch, a turbine-side member of the torque converter is disposed with a fixed inwardly facing surface facing an outwardly facing surface of the bearing support with a small open annular gap being between the facing surfaces and dynamic pressure grooves formed in one of the facing surfaces for providing a high pressure liquid layer between the facing surface which acts as a thrust bearing.
