autobox problem

<< < (2/3) > >>

Oli-L:
Ok ill give that a try then. I know this is prob a daft question but where in the box is the oil pump??
 I assumed the convertor sort of acted like a pump for it!! Im not to clued up when it comes to autoboxes...!!!

craig_midz:
if i remember rightly the pump is inside the box above the filter but i dont think u can change it while box is in car think its a gearbox strip down to change it

Range Rover Blues:
The torque converter has 3 drives in it, the outer one has 2 dog teeth that drive the oil pump, so the pump is a couple of inches inside the box, inside that drive (hollow shaft) is the stator drive, the part of the torque converter that stays still (it increases efficiency) then the inner is the drive shaft to the gears.  If you assemble any of the above wrong then when you cramp the engine and box together something gives, commonly it's the drive dogs of the pump that shatter the rather brittle guts of the pump itself.

Reggieroo:
The exact same thing has happened to my rangie, my friend fitted the auto box & said he has done it correctly. I then drove it home 35 miles & when I went to use it again 1st gear stuck a little then about a mile down the road it lost all drive, forward & reverse.

Took off an oil cooler pipe & there doesn't seem to be any oil pressure.

Its now stuck at my parents house untill I figure out whats up with it  :'(

Range Rover Blues:
Just remember the cooler is in the oil return line (low pressure), to check the delivery pressure you need to remove something form the front of the gearbox.
