Claim 16:
17. An assembly for power transmission between an output of a drive engine and an input of a transmission, the assembly comprising:
a torque converter having an input member, an output member and a hydrodynamic circuit coupling the input member to the output member, the torque converter defining a central axis;
a P2 module, the P2 module including a clutch and an electric motor, the clutch having an input member configured to connect to the output of the drive engine, the clutch having an engaged position and a disengaged position, in the engaged position the input member being connected to the torque converter, in the disengaged position the input member being disengaged from the torque converter, and the clutch including interleaved friction plates, a first set of the friction plates being rotationally fixed to an outer support plate and a second set of the friction plates being rotationally fixed to an inner support plate; and
the electric motor having a stator and a rotor, the electric motor being coupled to the clutch and being drivingly coupled to the torque converter; and
the torque converter further comprising a shell;
wherein the shell of the torque converter is axially retained within the outer support plate by a retention feature; and
wherein the retention feature includes a snap ring radially received within a groove formed in the shell of the torque converter.
