Abstract
A torque converter is provided. The torque converter, or torque converter assembly, operatively connects a primary mover and a transmission, and includes an input rotationally connected to the primary mover and an output rotationally connected to the transmission. The torque converter includes a fluid coupling having impeller blades and turbine blades. The fluid coupling transfers torque between the impeller blades and the turbine blades when the input and the output are rotating at different speeds. A mini damper is disposed in line with the fluid coupling between the input and the output. A torque converter clutch is configured to selectively slip or selectively lock, such that torque may be transferred directly between the input and the output. A primary damper is disposed between the input and the output.
