ABSTRACT:
A friction mechanism of a lock-up clutch for a torque converter comprising an annular friction plate installed between a retaining plate and turbine; stud pins fastening the retaining plate to a piston and supporting the friction plate movably with respect to the retaining plate; a friction member installed between the friction plate and retaining plate for generating friction by a relative movement between the friction plate and retaining plate; claw-shaped portions formed at inner periphery of the friction plate and projecting into slits formed in the turbine for connecting the friction plate with turbine rigidly in a circumferential direction and slidably in an axial direction.
