A pump arrangement for fluid in an automotive transmission system includes, but is not limited to a first, low-pressure pump stage and a second, high-pressure pump stage, the first pump stage supplying low-pressure fluid to a lubrication/cooling system and to the inlet of second pump stage, which supplies high pressure fluid to a hydraulic control system. Fluid from both systems is returned via a reservoir and filter to the first pump stage.
