摘要： The invention broadly comprises a torque converter with a pump clutch operatively arranged to couple a pump in the converter to a torsional input to the converter and a torque converter clutch operatively arranged to couple the torsional input to an output shaft for the converter. The pump clutch is arranged to maintain the coupling of the pump to the input as the torsional input and the shaft are coupled. The torque converter also includes at least one vibration damping means. The damping means is operatively connected to the torsional input and disposed in the converter such that the torsional input passes through the at least one vibration damping means when the input is coupled to the pump. The present invention also broadly comprises a torque transmitting apparatus, comprising a torque converter, a first input shaft for a dual-input gearbox, and, means for coupling the converter and the input shaft.

摘要： An automatic transmission including a first number of dry clutches; a second number of brakes; a third number of actuators; and transfer elements. The transfer elements are connected to respective clutches and brakes by respective uninterruptible mechanical paths. The actuators are arranged to displace respective transfer elements to operate the dry clutches and brakes. The third number is less than a sum of the first and second numbers. The transmission can include an input to a drive unit; a gear set; a damper connecting the drive unit and gear set; and an uninterrupted torque path between the drive unit and gear set. The transmission can include: a fluid chamber; dry portions; a six speed gear set at least partly in the chamber; three shafts at least partially disposed in the chamber; and three sealing elements forming a fluid-tight seal among the shafts, chamber, and dry portions.
