All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:

What is the purpose of the two shift cables?

While having a discussion, Technician A says that in a typical front-wheel-drive transmission, fourth gear would be accomplished by locking the input shaft to the output shaft for a 1:1 ratio. Technician B says that this occurs in a typical rear-wheel-drive transmission. Who is correct?

A(n) ____________________ allows the transaxle to be mounted slightly below and to the side of the engine.

In ____, power comes in through the input shaft first gear.
