Fluid Pump
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lincoln Navigator L and 2008 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The torque converter is supported in the fluid pump by a needle roller bearing. The fluid pump is driven directly from the engine by the torque converter shell and supplies transmission fluid to the transmission and the hydraulic control unit.
The fluid pump draws in transmission fluid through a filter and delivers it at high pressure to the main pressure valve in the main control valve body unit. The valve adjusts the pressure and returns excess transmission fluid to the fluid pan.
