Abstract
A reaction assembly for a torque converter is disclosed. The outer race of an overrunning clutch is engaged in the axial bore of a reactor member, the outer race bearing axially on one side against a transverse flange of the reactor member. A keeper ring bears against the other axial side of the outer race for axially maintaining the outer race with respect to the reactor member. A bayonet mount is provided between the keeper ring and the reactor member. The keeper ring is rotationally connected to the reactor member by at least one tab fixed to the keeper ring and axially engaged in an axial slot in the reactor member between two shoulders thereon.
