What could cause transmission fluid to drip out of the transmission vent?

Prior to disassembly, alignment marks should be made on the synchronizer ____________________ and hub.

Jumping out of gear is often caused by loose, worn, or out-of-adjustment shift linkage.

Name three components of the differential assembly.

Identify three items to check when inspecting blocker rings.

Manual transmission oil-level check intervals range from every 7,500 to 30,000 miles (12,070 to 48,280 km).

Technician A says if the dog (clutch) teeth of the synchronizer are rounded, the synchronizer should be reused. Technician B says the movement of the synchronizer sleeve on the shaft should be checked. Who is correct?

If the transmission does not have a dipstick the transmission fluid level can be checked by removing the ____________________ plug on the side of the unit.

Technician A checks ball bearings by spin testing with an air blower. Technician B cleans and lubricates the bearings then spins them by hand while checking for roughness or vibration. Who is correct?

Hard shifting may be caused by _____.

List five maintenance checks that should be made during the visual inspection of transmission/transaxle and related components while the unit is in the vehicle.

Technician A checks the engine and transmission mounts by running the engine at 1,500 rpm and with the park brake on lightly applying the clutch, while an assistant observers the movement of the engine and transmission. Technician B checks the mounts by applying 100 ft./lbs. of torque to the drive shaft with a torque wrench while measuring the movement of the engine with a dial indicator. Who is correct?

Gear ____________________ is indicated by a grinding noise during shifting.

If one gear tooth on a countergear assembly is broken, the entire assembly must be replaced.

Technician A says hard shifting in all gears may be caused by a single worn synchronizer assembly. Technician B says hard shifting in all gears may be caused by incorrect clutch linkage adjustment. Who is correct?

Transaxle R&R is being discussed. Technician A says in some cases, flange-mounted drive shafts may be left attached to the wheel and hub assembly and only unbolted at the transmission flange. Technician B says never separate the lower ball joint from the steering knuckle as this may cause wheel alignment problems. Who is correct?
