ABSTRACT:
A torque converter has a continuous slip bypass clutch with multiple friction plates one of which is directly coupled to the inside diameter of the front cover of the torque converter and another of which is directly coupled to a hub connected to the output shaft of the converter and wherein the bypass clutch is activated when there is excessive torque converter slip so as to engage plural friction surfaces on the multiple friction plates for providing a heat resistant slip connection between the front cover and the output shaft.
