The invention relates to a torque transmission device, more particularly for a motor vehicle, comprising a torque input element (15, 17) and a torque output element (8) able to pivot about an axis (X) with respect to one another, at least one elastic leaf (22), rotationally coupled to the torque output element (8) or to the torque input element (15, 17) respectively, the elastic leaf (22) being able to be elastically and radially held to rest on a supporting member (18) carried by the torque input element (15, 17) or the torque output element (8) respectively, the elastic leaf (22) being able to bend upon rotation of the torque input element (15, 17) with respect to the torque input element (8).

Connecting section for a two-part hub that support a driven shaft of a hybrid drive module having a first hub section and a second hub section. The connecting section can be arranged coaxially with the first hub section and the second hub section and can be arranged between the first hub section and the second hub section. The connecting section is designed as a sliding bearing.

A hydrokinetic torque coupling device features a casing including a casing shell and an impeller casing shell, an impeller including the impeller shell, a turbine-piston including a turbine-piston shell, and a restriction element. The turbine-piston shell includes a turbine-piston flange and partitions the interior volume of the casing into two chambers. The turbine-piston flange has an engagement surface movable axially toward and away from an engagement surface of a piston engagement portion of the impeller shell to position the hydrokinetic torque coupling device into and out of a lockup mode. The restriction element is configured to restrict fluid flow and create a pressure drop between the first and second chambers.
