ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a vehicle drivetrain. The drivetrain includes an input shaft means and a fluid torque converter having a cover, an impeller and a turbine. A starter ring gear is secured to the torque converter cover to be engaged by a starter pinion. A coupling having first and second inertia masses operatively connects said input shaft means to the cover of the torque converter. An input isolator is disposed between the first and second inertia masses for permitting relative movement therebetween. A cranking clutch includes a driveplate and a Belleville spring, the Belleville spring biasing the driveplate against the torque converter cover and reducing the likelihood of the starter pinion disengaging prematurely from the starter ring gear during the engine start procedure.
