Fluid Pump: Description and Operation
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Fluid Pump
-
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 fluid pump is a positive displacement, gear and crescent-type pump.
-
The fluid pump is driven by the torque converter cover hub.
Oil Strainer
-
All fluid drawn from the transmission fluid pan by the oil fluid pump passes through the oil strainer.
-
The strainer and its accompanying seals are part of the fluid path from the sump (pan) to the fluid pump.
-
The strainer has a bypass section which allows fluid vented at the main regulator valve to be recirculated to the fluid pump, without passing
through the strainer.
