Default Oil pressure
put a new pump and o ring everything was clean inside idles about 20psi but when it's shifted into drive or reverse it drops to about 5psi when driving will stay at 20 psi but come to a stop it drops again... anyone knows what could be the cause thinking oil sending unit or the gauge on the cluster
