Fluid Pump
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mercury Villager. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The fluid pump provides a supply of transmission fluid under pressure to operate, lubricate, and cool the transaxle. The oil pump is a trochoid gear positive displacement pump with output flow proportional to demand. The oil pump is mounted to the transaxle case.
