Abstract

A stator assembly for a torque converter includes a body, a one-way clutch, and a washer. The body is rotatable about an axis and has a cavity defined by an axial wall radially spaced from the axis and a radial wall extending radially inward from the axial wall. The one-way clutch is disposed in the cavity. The washer includes a thrust surface, a supporting surface, and an axial retention feature. The thrust surface faces away from the cavity. The supporting surface directly contacts the one-way clutch. The axial retention element is configured to connect to the axial wall of the body.
