Abstract: In an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle (10, 42), torque carrying connections are provided between the powertrain and all four wheels (12, 14, 22, 24). A multimode clutch module (50, 170) or clutches are provided to selectively disconnect two of the wheels (12, 14, 22, 24) from the powertrain during operating conditions where disconnection improves the performance and efficiency of the AWD vehicle (10, 42). The multimode clutch module (50, 170) may be installed at various locations of the AWD vehicle (10, 42), such as within a front or rear differential (20, 30), between a half axle (16, 18, 26, 28) and a differential (20, 30) or between a half axle (16, 18, 26, 28) and a corresponding wheel (12, 14, 22, 24), or within a transfer case (36) or power transfer unit (44).

Abstract: A flexplate assembly (26) for use in a starting system (31) for translating rotational torque between an engine and a transmission includes a drive assembly (28) adapted to be attached to the engine and the transmission for translating rotational torque therebetween. The flexplate assembly (26) also includes a ring assembly (30) having a ring gear (32) adapted to permanently engage a pinion gear (24) of a starter motor (22) of the starting system (31). The ring assembly (30) rotates with the drive assembly (28) in response to rotational torque generated by the pinion gear (24) of the starter motor (22). The drive assembly (28) disengages from the ring assembly (30) in response to rotational torque generated by the engine.

Abstract: A torque converter (10) translates torque between an internal combustion engine and an automatic transmission. The torque converter (10) includes a rotatable torque input member (20) adapted to be operatively coupled to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, and an impeller assembly (12) operatively coupled to rotate with the torque input member (20). The torque converter (10) further includes a turbine assembly (14) and a one-way clutch assembly (62). The turbine assembly (14) is fluidly connected in driven relationship with the impeller assembly (12) and adapted to be coupled to a rotatable transmission input shaft (56). The one-way clutch assembly (62) is disposed radially between the turbine assembly (14) and the transmission input shaft (56).
