Explorer 2WD V6-245 4.0L SOHC VIN E EFI (1997)
Fluid Pump: Description and Operation
The fluid pump provides the fluid pressure required to charge the torque converter, main control assembly, transmission cooling system, lubrication
system and apply devices.
The 5R55E has a positive displacement gear and crescent-type pump which is shaft-driven by the torque converter cover.
All fluid drawn from the pan passes through the fluid filter. The fluid filter and its accompanying seals are part of the fluid path to the fluid pump.
The fluid filter also has a bypass section. This allows the fluid which is vented at the main regulator valve to be recirculated to the pump without passing
through the filtering element.
