Exam 16: Gear Train Rebuilding

When rebuilding an automatic transaxle with a chain style of power transfer, the what needs to be checked for wear?

In an automatic transaxle with a gear style of power transfer, the transfer shaft transmits the power to the ring gear of the differential case.

When reinstalling _________ in an automatic transmission, apply a small amount of transmission assembly lube to hold them in place.

In most transfer gears and output gears of the gear type, removal of the gears from the shaft is done using a(n):

What should be used to check the thickness of a thrust washer, and the thickness should be compared to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

Which of the following bushings is most likely to be worn and need replacement during a transmission repair or overhaul?

Which of the following component can be only partially disassembled?

Tech A says that when assembling a transmission, the components should be lubricated with the correct automatic transmission fluid or transmission assembly lube. Tech B says that the transmission end play needs to be measured after the front pump is installed. Who is correct?

The power transfer from the power portion of the transaxle to the final drive portion of the transaxle can occur by which of the following methods?

Tech A says that clutch pack clearance should be checked with a micrometer. Tech B says that any clearance in the clutch pack means that the clutch discs are worn out. Who is correct?

Bushings must be replaced when clearance exceeds:

A ________ should be used to check the thickness of a thrust washer, and the thickness should be compared to the manufacturer's specification.

Use a feeler gauge to measure the amount of clearance on the planetary gears. If the clearance is not correct, install:

Which of the following should you inspect each bushing inside an automatic transmission for?

Tech A says that the torque converter should be bolted to the flexplate before installing the transmission. Tech B says that when installing the torque converter, three separate engagements with their mating parts must be felt. Who is correct?

Rollers or races that show any signs of damage must be replaced, and the lubrication circuit for the one-way roller should be carefully inspected for blockage.

Discoloration of a planetary gear set can be a sign of a failed lubrication circuit in the transmission and must be repaired before the discolored gears are replaced and the automatic transmission is placed back into service.

Tech A says that after rebuilding a clutch, it needs to be air checked before the clutch plates are installed. Tech B says that clutches that are rebuilt outside of the transmission are typically air tested before installing them back in the transmission. Who is correct?

If the automatic transmission's planetary gear set clearance is not correct, the planetary set will need to be disassembled, if it is a serviceable type, and thrust bearings of a different thickness will need to be installed.

How does the construction and testing of transaxles compare to traditional automatic transmission?
