Oil Pump, Transmission: Description and Operation

Hydraulic Oil Pump

The unit is a conventional gear pump which operates while the engine is running. The unit is driven by the torque converter.

Consisting basically of a split pump housing, drive gear and runner, the pump draws hydraulic fluid from the sump through a strainer and delivers
it at a controlled pressure to the various gearbox components.

The controlled pressure is known as the line pressure.
