General Motor's new front wheel drive six speed 6T40 automatic transmission benefits from patented technology to control high speed pump cavitation that is innovative yet cost effective. An annular nozzle is created with careful pump inlet design by integrating a conical section in the filter neck to create a jet pump to prevent high speed cavitation for almost no additional cost. Excess oil from a fixed displacement pump is used to achieve an effective increase in pressure at the inlet of the rotating group during high speed operation. Control of high speed cavitation reduces pump noise and improves line pressure control stability.
