Oil Pump
NAG1 TRANSMISSIONOIL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The oil pump (Fig. 167) (crescent-type pump) is installed in the torque converter casing behind the torque converter and is driven by the drive flange of the torque converter. The pump creates the oil pressure required for the hydraulic procedures.
OPERATION
When the engine is running, the oil (Fig. 168) is pumped through the inlet chamber (5) along the upper and lower side of the crescent to the pressure chamber (6) of the housing. The meshing of the teeth prevents oil flowing from the delivery side to the intake side. An external gear (3), eccentrically mounted in the pump housing, is located on the internal gear (4) which is connected to the drive flange. The crescent (1) drives the external wheel.
