As far as I know it is uncommon for a gearbox on a road car to have an oil pump. But the FIAT Dino 2000 does. So I thought it would be a good idea to have a look at it and see how it operates.
This is the FIAT gearbox which is a development of the FIAT 2300 four speed unit. It is completely different to the ZF unit fitted to the FIAT Dino 2400 , just thought I should be clear on that to avoid confusion. Now some racing cars have oil pumps fitted to the gearbox and the differential but I am sure that they are used to circulate the oil for cooling often through an oil cooler. So not for oil delivery under pressure. Not a very exciting subject but it could be useful to get a better understanding of this FIAT Dino feature another example of just how special and important this car was .
