ABSTRACT:
A system for adapting a particular sprag unit to an existing stator of a torque converter having a ring-shaped body with an inner surface and a driving member. The system includes an annular retainer possessing an outer surface which fits along the inner surface of the stator. The retainer further includes an inner surface which slidingly engages a particular sprag unit having a plurality of sprags. The outer surface of the annular retainer is connected to the inner surface of the stator to prevent relative movement between these two elements. The sprag unit also contacts the surface of an inner race which possesses a central opening for meshing with a driving member may include a race having an outer surface which also engages the sprags of the clutch.
