The oil pump is of "non-crescent" type and is located after the torque converter. It is driven by the engines crankshaft via the torque converter housing.

The oil pump supplies the hydraulics with oil and supplies the other components of the transmission with oil for lubrication and cooling. Excess oil is routed back to the oil sump.
