Start

1. After a long drive, red fluid is seen on the transmission case and under a vehicle's chassis. Technician A says this could be caused by fluid aeration. Technician B says this could be caused by engine overheating. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

This is normal.
A worn band.
A worn clutch.
Chipped gear teeth.

3. A vehicle with an automatic transmission creeps forward in neutral. Which of the following is MOST likely causing this condition?

The pressure regulator valve.
The manual valve.
A shift valve.
The throttle valve.

4. When removing a torque converter from an automatic transmission, the technician should:

Measure the depth of the torque converter into the transmission's bell housing before removal.
Inspect the torque converter's hub for discoloring, nicks, scratches, and burrs.
Both A and B
Neither A or B

5. After overhauling an automatic transmission, the input shaft is binding and has no endplay. Technician A says installing the transmission and driving the vehicle will correct this condition. Technician B says a thinner selective washer may be required. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

6. Refer to the chart above. Which gear ratio best represents overdrive?

4.027:1
0.852:1
3.064:1
Neither A or B

7. A transaxle's final drive assembly has been replaced. Which of the following is used to measure ring gear backlash?

An inch-pound torque wrench.
An outside micrometer.
A dial indicator.
A straightedge and feeler gauge.

8. An automatic transaxle loses pressure as it shifts from first to second gear. Which of the following results in this condition?

A cracked clutch piston.
A worn clutch piston seal.
A worn clutch drum.
All of the above.

9. The automatic transmission in the chart is slipping, and the transmission fluid is dark and smells burnt. Which of the following is MOST likely causing this condition?

The forward clutch.
The low roller clutch.
Differential case bearings.
The torque converter clutch.

10. Technician A says test ports to retrieve hydraulic pressure readings for the line, clutch, and servo circuits can be found on the outside of the transmission case. Technician B says air pressure tests are performed before and after transmission disassembly. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

11. A transmission brake band:

Holds and drives members of the planetary gear set.
Is a stopping and holding device.
Both A and B.
Neither A or B.

12. Shift valves are controlled by:

Governor pressure.
Throttle pressure.
Both A and B.
Neither A or B.

13. Technician A says that the torque converter lockup clutch provides a mechanical link between the engine and the transmission. Technician B says that when the lockup clutch is fully engaged, the turbine's speed matches the impeller's speed. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

14. An automatic transmission has delayed engagement when shifting from Park into Drive or Reverse. Which of the following is LEAST likely to result in this condition?

A clogged transmission oil filter.
Low oil pressure.
Oil pump starvation.
Open shift interlock solenoid.

15. Technician A says a faulty transmission range sensor will prevent starter operation. Technician B says to test an analog transmission range sensor with an ohmmeter. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

16. Technician A says the valve body separator plate contains the seat for ball-type check valves. Technician B says ball-type check valves are placed in valve body hydraulic circuits to allow fluid flow in only one direction. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

17. Technician A says the transmission oil pump is the source of all fluid flow in an automatic transmission. Technician B says that hydraulic flow charts display hydraulic fluid flow through the transmission's solenoids, valves, and oil circuits. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

18. Which of the following is at the center of the planetary gearset?

The pinion gear.
The ring gear.
The spur gear.
The sun gear.

19. A vehicle with an automatic three-speed synchronous transmission slips when it shifts from first to second gear in drive. Technician A says that synchronous transmissions rely on precise shift timing; inaccurate timing will result in slipping and engine flare. Technician B says that early application of the intermediate band is causing this condition. Who is correct?

Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A or B

20. Which of the following sensors affect both the engine and the automatic transmission's performance?

The Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor.
The Mass Air Flow Sensor.
The Throttle Position Sensor.
All of the above.
