ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to improvements in a vehicle torque converter whereby the impeller element of the converter may be operatively locked to the turbine element for a direct mechanical drive to thereby eliminate the inefficiency inherent in such converters when functioning as fluid couplings. The invention also discloses means for reducing the torque transmitted by the converter when the vehicle's engine is idling and the vehicle's transmission is in gear.
