Abstract
A hydrokinetic torque coupling device features an impeller including an impeller shell, a casing shell connected to the impeller shell to establish a casing with a first engagement surface, a turbine-piston including an axially movable turbine-piston shell, and an annular intermediate clutch component affixed to the turbine-piston shell and including a lockup portion. The lockup portion has a second engagement surface that is movable axially toward and away from the first engagement surface to position the hydrokinetic torque coupling device into and out of a lockup mode.
