<p>An auxiliary pressure system for a hydraulically actuated automotive automatic transmission (12) having a hydraulic fluid reservoir (30) and a line pressure circuit (28). The system includes an automatic transmission hydraulic fluid connector line (40) having an intake end (42) configured for attachment to a hydraulic fluid reservoir. A pressurization device (50) is connected to the automatic transmission hydraulic fluid connector line, configured and operable to receive hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid reservoir and place such hydraulic fluid under positive pressure sufficient to actuate the automatic transmission. A pressure delivery line (60) including a fitting configured for connection to the line pressure circuit of the automatic transmission, is connected to the pressurization device to deliver hydraulic fluid under positive pressure from the pressurization device to the line pressure circuit and thereby provide operating hydraulic pressure to the transmission for normal operation.</p> |
