351-4765: Oil Pump Shaft Gear

An Oil Pump Shaft Gear features a set of teeth that engage with corresponding teeth on the torque converter housing. As the torque converter rotates, it drives the oil pump shaft gear, causing it to rotate as well. This rotational motion creates suction, drawing transmission oil from the transmission pan through the oil pickup tube. Attributes: • Ensures accurate gear meshing and minimize leakage between the gear teeth • Withstands the abrasive nature of some oils and lubricants Applications: An Oil Pump Shaft Gear is an integral part of the transmission lubrication system. It is positioned within the torque converter housing and is directly driven by the torque converter's rotating motion. As the gear rotates, it transfers power to the oil pump, which pressurizes the transmission fluid to provide a constant supply of lubrication to ensure efficient power transfer and reduce frictional losses.
