ABSTRACT:
A torque converter drive unit in which an input shaft driven by a mechanically powered torque converter is frictionally coupled with an output shaft such that rotation of the input shaft in one direction only will cause corresponding rotation of the output shaft, rotation of the output shaft being prevented by operation of an electric solenoid controlled braking mechanism on the output shaft, thereby permitting instantaneous coupling of the input shaft and output shaft for operation of a racing vehicle from a starting line.
