Question 1

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 uses two planetary units that don't share a common gear set member. Technician B is also correct, as the 4T60 is a previous name of the 440-T4 transaxle. Therefore, both technicians are correct.

Question 2

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 indeed a version of the NAG1 transmission, which was designed by Mercedes-Benz.

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.

Question 4

Technician A says a variable displacement rotor-type oil pump is used in a 4L60 transmission. Technician B says a variable displacement vane-type oil pump is used in a 3L30 transmission. Who is correct?
A)A only
B)B only
C)Both A and B
D)Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct. The 3L30 transmission uses a variable displacement vane-type oil pump, but the 4L60 transmission uses a fixed displacement vane-type oil pump.

Question 5

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.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

The Ford AOD (Automatic Overdrive) was indeed the first automatic transmission to have a built-in overdrive. It was introduced in 1980 and used in Ford vehicles throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

Question 7

Some automatic transmissions use which of the following to achieve different gear ratios?
A)Tandem planetary gear sets
B)Ravigneaux gear sets
C)Helical gear sets
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

Automatic transmissions can use different gear sets to achieve different gear ratios. Tandem planetary gear sets, Ravigneaux gear sets, and helical gear sets are all examples of gear sets that can be used in automatic transmissions to achieve different gear ratios. Therefore, the best choice is D, all of the above.

Question 8

The ring gear in a Ford transmission serves as an input member.

Accepted Answer

The ring gear in a Ford transmission serves as the output member, not the input member. The input member is typically the clutch or torque converter, depending on the type of transmission.

Question 9

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

In Honda and Acura transaxles, different forward gears are typically provided by a combination of clutches and gear sets, not specifically a tandem planetary gear set. The final drive unit is usually a conventional gear set, not a planetary gear set.

Question 10

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 11

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 in stating that most transmission solenoids must be removed as an assembly, as they are often located within the transmission valve body. Technician B is incorrect in stating that the clutch housing is the mounting place for most transmission solenoids, as they can be mounted and located in various places within the transmission.

Question 12

Some rear clutches use which of the following to multiply the applying force of the piston?
A)Final drive unit
B)Common planetary carrier
C)Belleville spring
D)Compound planetary gear set

Accepted Answer

Belleville springs are used in some rear clutches to multiply the applying force of the piston, enhancing the clutch's ability to transmit torque.

Question 13

Most GM transmissions use a rotor-type oil pump.

Accepted Answer

Most GM transmissions use a gear-type oil pump, not a rotor-type.

Question 14

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

Accepted Answer

The Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) system is actually a vehicle bus system used for communication between different microcontrollers and devices within the vehicle, not a system designed to avoid collisions.

Question 15

Technician A says two sun gears, two sets of planet gears, and a common sun gear are the components of a Ravigneaux gear set. Technician B says two planetary gear sets that share a common ring gear make up a Simpson 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 two sun gears, two...

Question 16

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 17

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

Square-cut seals are designed to compress and create a seal, not to roll over. Seals are typically manufactured to specific sizes and should not be cut to size before installation.

Question 18

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

Accepted Answer

This mechanism is used in Toyota/Lexus transmissions to cancel fluid pressure that is generated by the centrifugal forces of the transmission's rotating components.

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

Technician A says in most transmissions, the oil pump is bolted to the transmission case. Technician B says in some transmissions, the oil pump is press-fitted into the case. Who is correct?
A)A only
B)B only
