Hydraulic System

Filter
Fluid in the pump area formed by the transaxle pan flows through a filter to the pump assembly. A magnet attached to the transaxle pan collects unwanted metallic material.

A thermostatic fluid control valve prevents foaming of fluid by maintaining a sump level below the rotating components.








Fluid Pump and Case Components
The thermostatic fluid control valve stores fluid in the area of the main control when the fluid expands due to temperature. When the fluid is cold, the valve allows more fluid from the main control area to return to the sump.

The transmission fluid level check is correctly carried out when fluid temperature is hot.
