Exam 14: Transmission Disassembly

Tech A states that old gaskets and seals should be stored to compare with new ones. Tech B states that new gaskets and seals are manufactured precisely and do not need to be compared with new ones. Who is correct?

Having a transmission part hit the shop floor can cause damage that will require replacement of that transmission part.

Technician A states that many transmission assemblies have large return springs that must be compressed with specialty tools. Technician B states that small transmission parts can be easily lost if the technician is not careful. Who is correct?

Tech A says that a pick and a hammer can be used to remove the low/reverse clutch piston from the transmission case. Tech B says that compressed air is helpful to remove the low reverse clutch piston. Who is correct?

Choose the correct order of dismantling the external components.

Technician A says both gear-type and chain-style transaxle assemblies never need to be inspected for wear. Technician B says valve bodies and valve body valves must be inspected for wear very carefully. Who is correct?

Tech A states that thrust washers should all be replaced when rebuilding a transmission. Tech B states that thrust washers can be made out of plastic and they can be easily broken by careless handling. Who is correct?

Technician A says both gear-type and chain-style transaxle assemblies never need to be inspected for wear. Technician B says valve bodies and valve body valves must be inspected for wear very carefully. Who is correct?

Technician A says during transmission overhaul all fluid passages must be inspected for debris by blowing them out with compressed air. Technician B says that during transmission overhaul each sprag must be fully disassembled and checked for damage. Who is correct?

Identify a true statement with regard to transmission disassembly.

Tech A says that traditional vehicle service information systems will cover transmission disassembly. Tech B says that it will often be necessary to purchase aftermarket transmission service information before rebuilding a transmission. Who is correct?

Technician A says always inspect the transmission case for damage or warping and ensure the vent is unclogged. Technician B says always inspect bands for damage, wear, or burns. Who is correct?

Technician A says while disassembling the transmission, by working carefully and being observant you can discover clues as to why a transmission failed. Technician B says you should quickly disassemble a transmission and begin cleaning the parts to save on time. Who is correct?

Technician A says that all internal transmission work must be performed in a clean environment. Technician B says that even the smallest dirt or debris in a valve body can cause a valve in a valve body to stick in its bore. Who is correct?

Tech A states that old gaskets and seals should be stored to compare with new ones. Tech B states that new gaskets and seals are manufactured precisely and do not need to be compared with new ones. Who is correct?

Tech A says that an end play measurement should be performed before disassembling a transmission. Tech B says that it is not necessary to perform an end play measurementbefore disassembling the transmission because you will be rebuilding and replacing components that will affect the end play. Who is correct?
