Borg Warner Velvet Drive Oil Pump – 71C / 72C Series | Part 71C-A60
A direct-replacement oil pump for Borg Warner Velvet Drive 71C and 72C series marine transmissions. The oil pump is a critical internal component responsible for maintaining hydraulic pressure throughout the transmission — it drives the clutch engagement, lubrication circuit, and cooling flow that keep the transmission operating correctly under load. Replacing a worn or failed pump restores proper hydraulic pressure and is typically required during a full transmission rebuild or when pressure-related shifting problems are diagnosed.

Parts Desk Insights
The oil pump is the right part to replace when a Velvet Drive 71C or 72C transmission is being fully rebuilt, or when a pressure test confirms the pump is not maintaining adequate hydraulic pressure. Low transmission pressure is a common cause of soft or delayed shifting and clutch pack slippage — and the pump is the first component to inspect when those symptoms appear. This is not a bolt-on repair; the transmission must come out and be disassembled to access the pump. If you’re going that far into the transmission, it’s worth replacing the shift spool O-ring (4804H) and all seals at the same time to avoid a repeat teardown.
