ABSTRACT:
In a lockup device, a drive plate has a frictional coupling portion adjacent to a friction surface, and can provide torque to a turbine. The piston is a disk-like member arranged between a front cover and the turbine, has a pressing portion arranged on a side of the frictional coupling portion remote from a friction surface, and is axially movable according to a change in hydraulic pressure. The piston coupling mechanism unrotatably and axially movably couples the piston to the front cover. A seal mechanism seals a portion radially inside the piston at its axially opposite sides. The damper mechanism is arranged in a space axially between the front cover and the turbine, and is located radially between a drive plate and a seal mechanism. The piston coupling mechanism is arranged radially inside the seal mechanism.
