Oil Pump

OIL PUMP

DESCRIPTION





The oil pump (2) (Fig. 182) (crescent type pump) is installed in the bellhousing 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. 183) is pumped through the inlet chamber (5) along the upper and lower side of the crescent (1) 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) is eccentrically mounted in the pump housing. The external gear is driven by the internal gear (4) which is connected to the torque converter hub.
