Abstract:
A torque converter, including: an axis of rotation; a cover arranged to receive torque in a first circumferential direction for a drive mode; an impeller non-rotatably connected to the cover; a turbine in fluid communication with the impeller; a torque converter clutch including a piston; and a vibration damper including a cover plate connected to the torque converter clutch, an output flange and at least one spring engaged with the cover plate and the output flange. For a coast mode: the cover plate is arranged to rotate in a second circumferential direction opposite the first circumferential direction; the cover plate is arranged to displace the output flange in an axial direction; and the output flange is arranged to displace the piston in the axial direction.
