ABSTRACT:
A torque converter (1) including a front cover (2), a torque converter main body housing (3) and a retarder (5). The front cover (2) is coupleable to a crankshaft of an engine. The torque converter main body housing (3) is coupled to the front cover (2) forming a hydraulic fluid chamber (A). The torque converter (1) outputs torque transmitted from the front cover (2) to the main drive shaft (34). The retarder (5) is arranged inside the hydraulic fluid chamber (A) and uses the fluid to dampen torque transmitted from the torque converter main body housing (3) to the main drive shaft (34).
