Abstract

In the case of an arrangement of a 2-path torsion damper unit and a friction disk clutch in a hydrodynamic torque converter, a coupling member for the torque transmission from the clutch to the torsion damper unit as well as the latter are fixed in their position with respect to the hub of a turbine wheel, particularly for avoiding wobbling.
