Exam 71: Manual Transmission Fundamentals

Which of the following statements is LEAST-Likely true?

Most automatic transmissions achieve ____ with planetary gears and a lock-up torque converter.

While having a discussion, Technician A says that twenty pounds of force applied to the end of a 1-foot rod produces 10 foot-pounds of torque. Technician B says that it produces 200 foot-pounds of torque. Who is correct?

The synchronizer, or synchro, allows two gears spinning at different speeds to mesh without clashing.

The term MOST-likely used to describe the clearance between meshing gear teeth is:

When a vehicle is operated in high gear, the engine's crankshaft turns approximately three times to one turn of the transmission output shaft.

The ____________________ is the distance from the center of a gear to its outside edge.

The term MOST-Likely used to describe simple gears with straight-cut teeth is:

What is the difference between first gear and reverse?

Some trucks have a four-speed transmission with a very low first gear, sometimes called a(n) ____________________.

Briefly describe the power flow of high gear.

Which of the following is LEAST-Likely a component of a typical internal shift mechanism?

The effective diameter of the meshed gear (used for determining its circumference) is called the ____.

What are the approximate transmission gear ratios for a three-speed transmission?

A(n) ____________________ allows the driver to adjust torque to fit an engine's operating requirements.

The ____________________ is the ratio between the transmission output shaft and the differential ring gear.

While having a discussion, Technician A says that the synchro allows two gears spinning at different speeds to mesh without clashing. Technician B says that it blocks the shift and equalizes the speed between two moving gears using cone clutch action. Who is correct?

What is the relationship between backlash and helical gears?

An automatic transmission is used with a clutch.

A four-stroke engine produces equal torque at all times.
