Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cover assembly for a torque converter includes a front cover and a drive plate connected to an outer surface of the front cover for coupling to the front cover to an engine crankshaft. The drive plate includes elastic preloading elements pressing against the outer surface of the front cover. A method of forming a cover assembly for a torque converter includes fixing a drive plate to an outer surface of a front cover of the torque converter such that elastic preloading elements of the drive plate press against the outer surface and are compressed.
