Exam 4: Servicing Transmissionstransaxles Manual Transmissions Transaxles

Technician A says blocking rings are often made of brass or bronze because of the high heat produced by friction. Technician B says some synchronizer rings can contain powdered metal, Kevlar, and organic frictional materials. Who is correct?

Which transmission design is currently used only on farm and industrial machines?

Technician A says some vehicles have the transmission remotely mounted from the differential. Technician B says the transaxle includes the transmission and final drive. Who is correct?

The use of incorrect transmission fluid is unlikely to impact shift quality.

The forward gears of all current automotive transmissions are synchronized.

What is the term used to describe a set of gear teeth which contain gaps between the teeth and are not close together?

What are the three major types of manual transmissions used in the automotive industry?

Torque may be described as twisting power.

When the transmission is in overdrive, the input shaft is turning faster than the output (main shaft).

Synchronizing devices are normally used when shifting into _____.

What is the most common type of synchronizer?

Synchronizing devices in the transmission synchronize gears that are about to be _____.

What is the difference in the two basic designs of gearshift linkages (external and internal)?

In the synchronizer assembly figure shown, list the names of the parts indicated by arrows.

A _____ transmission uses two or more shafts mounted in parallel, with sliding spur gears arranged to mesh with each other to provide a change in speed or direction.

What is the purpose of a synchronizer? Describe the three stages of synchronization.

_____ is the trade name for a new gear change system from the United Kingdom that replaces normal synchronizers to provide a change in gear ratios without interrupting the flow of engine torque to the wheels.

A transaxle for a front-wheel drive car is usually mounted cross-wise with the engine.

What pin moves out of its notch and prevents the other shift rails from moving so that the transmission cannot be in two gears at once?

The two separate shafts in a transaxle are called _____ shafts.
