ABSTRACT:
An attachment for automatically connecting a torque converter impeller housing to an engine output member including splines on the output member, splines on the impeller housing, a plurality of ramp surfaces on impeller housing, and a corresponding plurality of resilient tangs on the engine output member. When the torque converter impeller housing is supported on the transmission and shifted as a unit with the latter toward the engine the splines automatically engage to connect the impeller housing and the engine output member for unitary rotation while the ramp surfaces first cam the tangs to positions permitting unrestricted movement of the impeller housing to an assembled position and are thereafter automatically engaged by the tangs to prevent withdrawal from the assembled position.
