Exam 7: Transmission Components

The input shaft is splined to lock into the front pump.

Which of the following sensors is a potentiometer design?

Tech A states that most modern transmissions have a rear pump for lubrication. Tech B states that transmissions utilize a hydraulic pump for both pressure and lubrication. Who is correct?

Grooving of the clutch discs allows the fluid to escape from between the plates when the clutch engages and creates a firmer, quicker shift.

The manual lever position (MLP) is often mounted directly on the automatic transmission case where the shift linkage connects to the transmission.

Lip seals are made out of:

On an RWD vehicle, the output shaft will have long splines to allow the driveshaft to slide in and out of the rear of the transmission.

Technician A says some servos have multiple pistons. Technician B says they can only have one piston. Who is correct?

Clogging-up of the internal passages of the transmission is caused when the seals are lubricated with:

The clutch pack steels typically have splines, or teeth, on the inside edge to hold them to a member of the planetary gear set.

In the variable displacement pump, the pump housing can pivot in relation to the rotor.

Which of the following describes the operation of a reed switch?

Torque multiplication within a torque converter is automatically adjusted, within design limits, by the difference in speed between the impeller and turbine.

If the valves do not operate freely, the transmission will still shift properly.

Which of the following are applied by fluid pressure acting on a servo?

Tech A states that the torque converter allows a vehicle to remain in gear at a stop light. Tech B states that a torque converter changes engine torque into horsepower. Who is correct?

What effect does adding more clutch plates and steels have on a multi-plate clutch in a transmission?

When the Powertrain Control Module compares the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) sensor signal to the Input Shaft Speed (ISS) sensor in the transmission, what does the difference between these two sensors indicate?

On most vehicles, the stator support is built into the front pump.

The __________ is the major control for the automatic transmission.
