Torque converter with spacer plate for a coast-engaging diaphragm spring

摘要

A torque converter is provided. The torque converter comprises a damper assembly and a turbine assembly connected to the damper assembly. The turbine assembly comprises an axially movable turbine piston, a spacer plate fixed to the turbine piston, and a biasing spring. The spacer plate holds the biasing spring on the turbine piston by a preload force. Additionally, a method is provided for forming a torque converter. The method comprises the steps of: providing a biasing spring in contact with a surface on the front cover side of the turbine piston; and for the turbine piston to hold the biasing spring toward the surface on the front cover side of the turbine piston. Securing the spacer plate.
