Fluid Pump
Fluid PumpHydraulic System
^ The fluid pump provides the fluid pressure necessary to charge the torque converter, main control assembly, transmission cooling system, lubrication system and apply devices.
^ The fluid pump is a positive displacement, gear type pump.
The fluid pump is driven by the torque converter impeller hub.
Filter
All fluid drawn from the transmission fluid pan by the fluid pump passes through the fluid filter.
- The transmission fluid filter and its accompanying seals are part of the fluid path from the sump (pan) to the fluid pump.
- The transmission fluid filter has a bypass section which allows fluid vented at the main regulator valve to be recirculated to the fluid pump, without passing through the transmission fluid filter.
