ABSTRACT:
A torque converter and clutch assembly incorporates a selectively engageable clutch pressure plate which enforces frictional engagement between a clutch disc, mounted on the pressure plate, and the input shell of the torque converter. An elastomer lined compliant interface is disposed intermediate the pressure plate and the clutch disc for the purpose of permitting surface configuration compliance between the input shell and the clutch disc as well as between the clutch disc and the pressure plate.
