ABSTRACT:
A lockup damper has a drive plate, a driven plate, first and second coil springs, an intermediate plate and a support clip (40). The lockup damper dampens and absorbs vibrations transmitted to a turbine from a front cover. The first and second coil springs are disposed between the drive plate and the driven plate. The plate-shaped intermediate member has an intermediate support portion (21) disposed between the first and second coil springs. The support clip (40) has a pincher portion and first and second support portions (42) and (43). The pincher portion has a generally U-shape that wraps around a portion of the intermediate support portion, engages and holds the intermediate plate in the direction of the thickness of the intermediate plate. The first support portion (42) supports the end of the first coil spring (7) in the circumferential direction.
