Question 6

Tech A states that the 4th gear of a 6R60 transmission has a 1.14:1 ratio. Tech B states that the transmission does not have a true 1:1 ratio. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The 6R60 transmission's 4th gear has a 1.14:1 ratio, and it does not have a true 1:1 ratio in any gear.

Question 7

Tech A states that the 6R60 transmission does not utilize a traditional dipstick. Tech B states that the transmission temperature must be around 180˚ F (82˚ C) in order to check the fluid. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The 6R60 transmission does not have a traditional dipstick, and the fluid level should be checked when the transmission is at the specified temperature of around 180˚ F (82˚ C).

Question 8

Tech A states that on a 6R60 transmission the range sensor is a potentiometer that sends a voltage signal back to the PCM. Tech B states that the range sensor uses pressure switches to indicate gear selection. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Tech A states that on a 6R60...

Question 9

You are testing the solenoids from a 6R60 transmission and find that all of the solenoids have a resistance reading of 5.5 ohms except solenoid E which has 10.5 ohms. Tech A states that the solenoids will use more current than normal. Tech B states that the solenoids will use less current than normal. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Solenoid E has a higher resistance than the other solenoids, which means it will draw less current than the other solenoids.

Question 10

Tech A states that based on the solenoid application chart, the 6R60 transmission does not have a fail-safe gear. Tech B states that 4th gear is a fail-safe gear. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Tech A states that based on the...

Question 11

Tech A states that the 6R60 shift solenoids are pulse width modulated. Tech B states that the shift solenoids are variable force solenoids. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Tech A states that the 6R60 shift...

Question 12

For how long should all frictions be soaked in the specified automatic transmission fluid before being installed into the transmission?

Accepted Answer

The answer of For how long should all frictions be...

Question 13

When removing the snap ring during disassembly of the forward/overdrive clutch assembly, what precaution should be taken to prevent damage to the forward clutch housing?

Accepted Answer

Prying only 180 degrees from the snap ring opening helps to evenly distribute the force and prevent damage to the forward clutch housing.

Question 14

When rebuilding the forward/overdrive clutch assembly, what should be the position of the new snap ring with respect to the position of the original snap ring opening?

Accepted Answer

The answer of When rebuilding the forward/overdrive clutch assembly, what...

Question 15

When rebuilding the intermediate clutch assembly, all of the following statements with respect to measuring clutch pack clearance are true except:

Accepted Answer

The clearance specification of 0.045 to 0.055 inches may not be correct for all intermediate clutch assemblies, as it can vary depending on the specific vehicle or transmission model.

Question 16

A vehicle with a 6R60 transmission is towed to the shop with the transmission slipping in forward gears. Tech A states the problem could be a bad direct clutch. Tech B states that the problem could be a bad forward clutch. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A vehicle with a 6R60 transmission is...

Question 17

A vehicle comes in with a 6R60 transmission with a burned overdrive clutch. Tech A states the problem could be a bad shift solenoid "E." Tech B states the problem could be a bad shift solenoid "C." Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Tech A is correct because a bad shift solenoid "E" can cause issues with the overdrive clutch in a 6R60 transmission.

Question 18

A vehicle with a 6R60 transmission comes in to the shop with only 1st and 2nd gear. Tech A states the problem could be a bad low reverse clutch. Tech B states that the problem could be a bad range switch. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

A bad range switch can cause issues with gear selection, including being stuck in only 1st and 2nd gear.

Question 19

Tech A states that when rebuilding a 6R60 transmission the frictions must be soaked in clean ATF for at least an hour. Tech B states that snap rings must be installed with the opening at specific positions. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Soaking frictions in ATF ensures proper lubrication and function, while snap rings need to be positioned correctly to maintain assembly integrity.

Question 20

When reassembling the 6R60 transmission, the intermediate support housing must be placed so the locating tabs are in the:

Accepted Answer

The intermediate support housing in the 6R60 transmission should be aligned with the locating tabs at the "3:00" and "9:00" positions to ensure proper assembly and function.
