Fluid Pump
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The pump provides the volume of fluid required to charge the torque converter, main control valve body, cooling system, lubrication system and hydraulic apply devices. The transaxle uses a positive displacement gear and crescent-type pump which is shaft-driven by the torque converter.
