ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ROTARY CONNECTION

An engine output shaft and a transmission torque converter are connected for torque transmission therebetween. A flex plate is disposed between, and secured for rotation with either, the output shaft or the torque converter input shell. The flex plate includes an axially extending rim frictionally e...

Zusammenfassung:	An engine output shaft and a transmission torque converter are connected for torque transmission therebetween. A flex plate is disposed between, and secured for rotation with either, the output shaft or the torque converter input shell. The flex plate includes an axially extending rim frictionally engaged with an annular wall secured either the output shaft or the torque converter input shell. A clamp member surrounds the rim on the flex plate radially outward of the annular wall and is selectively tightened to establish a force therein to cause the frictional engagement to be sufficient to transmit the torque.
