- Remove and inspect the inner and the outer gerotor gears.
- Clean all pump parts except the thermostat, in solvent.
- Dry the parts with compressed air.
- Inspect the pump gears, faces, gear teeth, pump housing and mating surfaces for damage or scoring.
- If any parts are damaged or worn, install a new pump.
- Inspect the converter hub bushing. If scored or excessively worn, install a new pump. Note the orientation of the notch in the bushing. It must face up.
- Inspect the front input shaft bushing. If the bushing is worn or scored, install a new pump.
- Inspect the rear input shaft bushing for wear. If scored or worn, install a new pump.
- Inspect the following:
- All valve and plug bores for scoring or damage.
- All passages for obstructions.
- Mating surfaces for burrs and scoring.
- All springs for distortion.
- When dry, check all valves and plugs for free movement in their respective bores.
NOTE:
Note the location of the bolts for assembly.
NOTE:
If the pump gears or plate show any signs of wear or scoring, a new pump assembly must be installed.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the stator support from the control body. This can distort the surface of the control body.
CAUTION:
To avoid part damage and loss of function, do not clean the pump thermostat with mineral spirits or solvent.
