Trhe clutch is drive connected to the turbine through a primary drive spring, disposed in a circumferential direction, so that relative angular movement initiated by engine torsional vibrations occur between the clutch and turbine. A secondary clutch engagement control spring is connected in a generally radial direction between the clutch and turbine. The secondary spring provides a clutch holdoff force at low clutch speeds and a clutch engagement intensifier force after engagement. A friction member is disposed between the clutch and the turbine to dampen the engine torsional vibrations.
