Accepted Answer

False

Question 3

Most hybrids use a modified five-speed automatic transaxle .

Accepted Answer

Most hybrids use continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) or other types of transmissions, not typically a modified five-speed automatic transaxle. CVTs are favored for their ability to adjust precisely to varying driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency.

The answer of Technician A says during shifts from second...

Question 6

Technician A says a square-cut seal is designed to roll over when a part is fitted over them. Technician B says before installing some seals, they must be cut to size. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

The answer of Technician A says a square-cut seal is...

Question 7

The second clutch controls output through the 4T60 geartrain.

Accepted Answer

The 4T60 is a type of automatic transmission, and the statement about a "second clutch" controlling output through a specific geartrain does not accurately describe how this transmission operates. Automatic transmissions like the 4T60 use a complex system of hydraulic controls, clutches, and bands to manage gear ratios and power transmission, not a singular "second clutch" for a specific geartrain.

Question 8

Most Toyota/Lexus transmission models have a centrifugal fluid pressure-canceling mechanism.

Accepted Answer

Most Toyota/Lexus transmission models do have a centrifugal fluid pressure-canceling mechanism, which helps to prevent fluid pressure from building up excessively and causing damage to the transmission.

Question 9

Many Lexus vehicles are equipped with one of the following transmissions: the A760H, A761E, or the A960E.

Accepted Answer

Many Lexus vehicles are indeed equipped with one of the following transmissions: the A760H, A761E, or the A960E.

Question 10

The Chrysler collision detection system (CCD) is a means for the driver to avoid vehicle collisions.

Accepted Answer

The Chrysler collision detection system (CCD) is not a means for the driver to avoid vehicle collisions. CCD refers to a type of network communication system used in Chrysler vehicles.

Question 11

The GM 4R70 is a four-speed automatic transmission that uses a Ravigneaux compound planetary gear set.

Accepted Answer

The GM 4R70 is a four-speed automatic transmission, but it does not use a Ravigneaux compound planetary gear set. It uses a simpler planetary gear set.

Question 12

Technician A says different forward gears are provided by a tandem planetary gear set in Honda transaxles. Technician B says the final drive unit in Honda and Acura transaxles is a planetary gear set. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

The answer of Technician A says different forward gears are...

Question 13

The W5A330 used in the Chrysler Crossfire is a version of the NAG1 transmission designed by Mercedes-Benz.

Accepted Answer

The W5A330 transmission used in the Chrysler Crossfire is a version of the NAG1 transmission, which was designed and produced by Mercedes-Benz.

Question 14

Technician A says most transmission solenoids must be removed as an assembly. Technician B says the clutch housing is the mounting place for most transmission solenoids. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct. Most transmission solenoids must be removed as an assembly. Technician B is incorrect. The clutch housing is not the only mounting place for most transmission solenoids. Some transmissions may have different mounting locations for solenoids.

Question 15

The Ford AOD was the first automatic transmission to have a built-in overdrive.

Accepted Answer

The AOD (Automatic Overdrive) introduced by Ford in 1980 was the first automatic transmission to incorporate a built-in overdrive, which helped improve fuel efficiency and reduce engine wear.

Question 16

Most GM transaxles are based on the Simpson geartrain.

Accepted Answer

The Simpson geartrain is a common design used in many automatic transmissions, including those produced by General Motors, due to its simplicity and efficiency in providing multiple gear ratios.

Question 17

The Ford AX4N transaxle uses a combination Simpson geartrain in tandem.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The Ford AX4N transaxle uses a combination...

Question 18

Technician A says two planetary units that do not share a common gear set member are used in the 4T60. Technician B says the 4T60 transaxle used to be referred to as the 440-T4. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct, as the 4T60 transaxle uses two planetary units that do not share a common gear set member. Technician B is also correct, as the 4T60 transaxle was formerly referred to as the 440-T4. Therefore, both technicians are correct.

Question 19

The Ravigneaux gear set shares a common sun gear.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The Ravigneaux gear set shares a common...

Question 20

The one-way overrunning clutch is a holding device for the Torqueflite transmission.

Accepted Answer

The one-way overrunning clutch in the Torqueflite transmission allows the transmission to hold or lock in one direction while allowing free rotation in the opposite direction, functioning as a holding device.
