Abstract
A torque converter system of a vehicle for delivering an input torque to a transmission may include a front cover of a torque converter receiving the input torque through a torque receiving shaft, an impeller of the torque converter receiving the input torque through the front cover, a turbine of the torque converter disposed opposed to and coaxially with the impeller and rotated by an operation fluid supplied from the impeller thereby driving a transmission input shaft, a reactor of the torque converter disposed between the impeller and the turbine and redirecting the operation fluid from the turbine toward the impeller, and a lock-up clutch disposed inside a transmission to selectively connecting the front cover and the turbine.
