ABSTRACT:
A torque converter and mechanically engaged slipping clutch wherein the impeller is driven by the input shell through a cam mechanism. The impeller has a clutch engaging mechanism which moves axially, due to the drive torque transmitted through the cam mechanism, to enforce slipping frictional engagement of the clutch disposed between the input shell and the turbine. The cam surfaces are designed such that the clutch cannot transmit all of the input torque since this would result in zero (0) torque transmission to the cam mechanism thereby releasing the clutch engagement force.
