Exam 16: Gear Train Rebuilding

Tech A says that to determine whether roller-type thrust bearings need to be replaced, they should be measured with a micrometer. Tech B says that to determine whether thrust washers are worn excessively, they should be measured with a micrometer and compared to specifications. Who is correct?

Tech A says that if the end play is insufficient, it may cause premature wear on the thrust bearings. Tech B says that transmissions with incorrect end play may have been reassembled incorrectly. Who is correct?

On an automatic transaxle, changing the preload and backlash often involves changing selective thickness shims.

Some transaxles use a chain to connect from the torque converter to the input shaft of the transmission.

Discoloration of the planetary gears or the planet carrier can be a sign of:

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

Output shaft end play and side gear backlash must be checked on an automatic transaxle. What are the possible problems if backlash is incorrect?

If thrust bearings or washers are worn, ______ movement of components inside the automatic transmission will be allowed, affecting their operation.

On a rear-wheel drive vehicle, what needs to be removed to replace the extension housing bushing?
