ABSTRACT:
A torque converter includes a front cover, an impeller, a turbine, a stator and a lockup clutch piston. The lockup clutch piston is located between the front cover and the turbine and is engaged and dis-engaged in response to changes in hydraulic pressure around the piston. The turbine shell is provided at the outer peripheral portion with a flange or projection (61) that extends radially outward toward an inner wall surface (66) and (67) of an impeller shell (22) for limiting fluid flow from around the piston into an area between the turbine and impeller.
