Transmission Hydraulic System

SMCS - 3150

Torque Converter, Transmission Pump, Screen and Filter

A gerotor pump provides the oil for the operation and the cooling of the transmission and torque converter. The
pump also delivers oil for lubrication of the transmission and torque converter. The pump is located at the
transmission input shaft. The torque converter stator support is assembled with the pump. This assembly is then
bolted to the transmission case. The pump is driven by the torque converter impeller housing.

The oil reservoir for the transmission and for the torque converter is in the bottom of the transmission case. The
oil flows from the reservoir to the screen. The oil then flows through a transmission case passage to the suction
side of the positive displacement pump. The oil from the pump flows to the filter. Then, the oil flows from the
pump to the transmission hydraulic controls. A restriction in the oil filter or high viscosity oil will open a relief
valve. The flow of oil will travel back to the sump of the transmission.

(1) Oil filter

If the pressure differential of the inlet oil pressure to the oil filter is 138 ± 14 kPa (20 ± 2 psi) higher than the
outlet oil pressure, the oil filter bypass valve will open.

When the oil does not flow through the oil filter element (1), unfiltered oil could cause damage to other
components in the transmission oil system.

Correct maintenance must be used in order to make sure that the element does not become plugged and the
element does not stop the flow of clean oil to the transmission oil system. The filter is mounted to the left side of
the transmission case.

(2) Screen

The screen (2) is mounted inside the transmission case. The screen can be removed on the right side of the case.

Power Train Oil Cooler

The transmission oil cooler is mounted on the front of the radiator.

(5) Oil flow from the transmission cooler

(6) Oil flow to the transmission cooler

(7) Bypass valve

(8) Thermostat housing

The transmission system oil flows from the torque converter outlet to the thermostat for the transmission. As the
oil circulates through the thermostat, the bypass valve in the thermostat opens and the bypass valve allows the
oil to return to the transmission sump. Once the oil heats up, the element inside the bypass valve begins to close.
As the element closes, the bypass valve causes the oil to enter the transmission cooler. As oil flows through the
cooler, air flows around the core assembly. In this way, heat is removed from the oil. The oil from the cooler will
be able to mix with hot oil. This mix will give a consistent temperature before returning to the transmission
sump.

When the bypass valve is closed, the system pressure may increase due to a restriction or a blockage in the
cooler. Also, the system pressure may increase as a result of a reduced flow capacity. If the pressure reaches a
predetermined level, the bypass spring will allow the bypass valve to open.

After the oil has been cooled by the oil cooler, the oil will flow through the following internal passages: reverse
input shaft (9), input shaft that is high speed, input shaft that is low speed (10), the first clutch input shaft (11),
second input shaft, third input shaft (12) and all wheel drive shaft (13). The cooled oil flows through the oil
passages in the input shafts and the oil provides the cooling and lubrication for the bearings, plates, and discs.

Splash lubrication keeps the other gears and bearings oiled. The movement of the gears in the oil reservoir
causes oil to be thrown on all components.
