Production Solution

Service
If the gear oil pump V553 is confirmed to be the source of the noise, replace the pump and the bolts for the pump.
The oil can be reused if captured in a clean container.
Note:
 There must not be any transmission fluid (MTF) in the electrical
connector area.
 When removing the pump disconnect the connector (Figure 1,
Position 2) only after the transmission fluid drains out to avoid
gear oil contamination of the electrical connector.
