    Abstract: A device for power transmission within a hybrid motor vehicle and a method of operating the device. The device is a P2 module and includes a torque converter, an electric motor, a connect/disconnect clutch and an electro-magnetic controllable clutch. The torque converter is configured to be coupled to an input member of the transmission. The electric motor includes a rotor that is fixedly connected to the input of the torque converter. The connect/disconnect clutch has an input member configured to be coupled to the output of the engine and has first and second clutch members moveable between a disengaged and engaged positons. The second clutch member is also fixedly connected to the torque converter. The electro-magnetic controllable clutch is coupled between the connect/disconnect clutch and the torque converter and has a locked up configuration and a freewheeling configuration.

    Abstract: A launch device coupling a prime mover to a transmission. The launch device includes a front cover for connecting to the output of the prime mover and an output hub for connecting to the input of the transmission. A rear cover is connected to the front cover and cooperates to define a chamber. Within the chamber are an impeller and a turbine having a plurality of opposing blades such that hydraulic fluid is directed from the impeller blades and toward the turbine blades. A main damper is provided between the turbine and output hub of the launch device. Coupled to the main damper is a lock-out clutch configured to releasably lock the main damper for rotation with one of the front and rear covers. The launch device also includes an active dynamic damper system coupled to the main damper and configured to reduce resonance influence on the main damper.

    Abstract: A launch device coupling the rotary output of a prime mover to the rotary input of an automotive transmission. The launch device includes a shell defining a chamber into which impeller blades extend. A rotatable turbine is located in the chamber. Turbine blades oppose the impeller blades and receive fluid from the impeller blades, causing rotation of the turbine and an output hub. Pull bearings constructively support the shell for relative rotation with respect to one or more internal components of the launch device, such as the output hub. Portions of the pull bearings are fixed relative to an associated one of the internal components to limit axial movement of the inner and outer races of the pull bearing and, thereby, limit axial expansion of the shell.

    Abstract: A vehicle transmission includes a transmission pump body having a surface defining apertures, including an intake port, an exhaust port, and a drain back hole; a bell housing; and a steel wear plate disposed between the pump body surface and the bell housing, wherein the wear plate defines a plurality of apertures that mimic and correspond with the intake port, exhaust port and drain back hole of the pump body. The wear plate protects the bell housing from damage in the event of a catastrophic failure of a torque converter or transmission pump, without interfering with normal operation of the transmission.

    Abstract: A launch device for coupling the rotary output of a prime mover to the rotary input of a driven device. The launch device includes a containment vessel defining a chamber. A driving element, located within the chamber and being rotatable relative to the containment vessel, is configured to be coupled to the output of the prime mover, while a driven element, also located within the chamber and being rotatable relative to the containment vessel, is configured to be coupled to the input of the driven device. The driven element is fluidically coupled to the driving element and is rotationally driven thereby during rotation of the driving element by the prime mover.
