Question 1

In ____, power comes in through the input shaft third gear, which is connected to the input shaft by the third and fourth synchro clutch.

Accepted Answer

In third gear, power enters through the input shaft's third gear, which is engaged by the third and fourth synchro clutch, directly correlating to the gear in use.

Question 2

The term MOST-Likely used to describe the inboard CV joint is:

Accepted Answer

The inboard CV joint is often referred to as a plunge joint because it allows for changes in the length of the driveshaft as the suspension moves.

Question 3

A cross and yoke universal joint changes its speed twice in every revolution when run at an angle.

Accepted Answer

When a cross and yoke universal joint operates at an angle, the driven shaft speed varies cyclically, accelerating and decelerating twice per revolution due to the non-uniform motion transmitted through the angled joint.

Question 4

While having a discussion, Technician A says that there is a short shaft at the outside end of a drive axle called a stub shaft. Technician B says that is called a stub axle. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of While having a discussion, Technician A says...

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following terms LEAST-Likely refers...

Question 6

Which of the following statements is LEAST-Likely true?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following statements is LEAST-Likely...

Question 7

All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

The Rzeppa joint, named after Alfred Rzeppa and resembling a bevel gear with balls, transmits power evenly at various angles. However, the statement about there being five types of plunge joints is incorrect; the number and types of plunge joints can vary, but this specific categorization is not standard.

Question 8

All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

The trend is to have halfshafts of equal lengths on both sides of the vehicle to prevent torque steer, not different lengths.

Question 12

In ____________________ gear, power comes in through the input shaft and leaves through a fixed spur gear.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In ____________________ gear, power comes in through...

Question 13

In ____, power comes in through the input shaft first gear.

Accepted Answer

In low gear, power comes in through the input shaft first gear, which is essential for providing maximum torque and power to the vehicle's wheels, especially useful during towing, climbing, or starting from a stop.

Question 14

A front-wheel-drive car has a transaxle, which combines a transmission and differential into a single unit.

Accepted Answer

In a front-wheel-drive car, the transaxle serves the purpose of combining both the transmission and the differential into one integrated unit, allowing for more efficient use of space and improved drivetrain efficiency.

Question 15

In a typical rear-wheel-drive transmission, fourth gear would be accomplished by locking the input shaft to the output shaft for a 1:1 ratio.

Accepted Answer

In a typical rear-wheel-drive transmission, fourth gear (often considered the "direct drive" gear in a four-speed transmission) is achieved by locking the input shaft directly to the output shaft, resulting in a 1:1 gear ratio where the engine speed and the transmission output speed are the same.

Question 16

Gears on the output shaft directly drive gears on the input shaft.

Accepted Answer

In a typical gear system, gears on the input shaft engage with gears on an intermediate shaft or directly with gears on the output shaft, but the direction of drive is from the input to the output, not the other way around.

Question 17

While having a discussion, Technician A says that in a typical front-wheel-drive transmission, fourth gear would be accomplished by locking the input shaft to the output shaft for a 1:1 ratio. Technician B says that this occurs in a typical rear-wheel-drive transmission. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of While having a discussion, Technician A says...

Question 18

The inside end of the axle shaft is called the ____________________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The inside end of the axle shaft...

Question 19

Advantages of rear-wheel drive include reduced weight and a more efficient drivetrain, resulting in better fuel economy.

Accepted Answer

Rear-wheel drive advantages typically include better handling and acceleration due to the distribution of weight and the drivetrain layout. It does not inherently lead to reduced weight or more efficient drivetrain resulting in better fuel economy compared to front-wheel or all-wheel drive systems.

Question 20

The term MOST-Likely used to describe a drive axle is:

Accepted Answer

The axle shaft is the component most likely to be described as a drive axle, as it is the part that transfers power from the differential to the wheels, enabling the vehicle to move.
