Chapter 1 Homework Transmission Overview Flashcards
When discussing the purposes of a drivetrain,
Technician A says that it connects the engine’s power to the drive wheels.
Technician B says that it controls the power to the drive wheels for safe turning of the vehicle.
Who is correct?
Both A and B
When discussing gears and pulleys,
Technician A says that gears are used to apply torque to other rotating parts of the drivetrain.
Technician B says that variable pulleys are used to multiply torque or increase speed in many CVTs.
Who is correct?
Both A and B
The type of bearing that can only control loads perpendicular to the shaft is a:
Select one:
a. Roller Bearing
b. Tapered Roller Bearing
c. Thrust Bearing
d. Radial Bearing
Radial Bearing
When discussing reverse gear,
Technician A says reverse is accomplished by adding a third gear.
Technician B says the reverse idler gear causes the driven gear to rotate in reverse.
Who is correct?
Both A and B
When discussing the purpose of a flywheel,
Technician A says that it increases engine torque.
Technician B says that it acts as the driving member of the clutch assembly.
Who is correct?
B only
When discussing clutch components,
Technician A says that the clutch disc is splined to the input shaft of the transmission.
Technician B says that the clutch disc carries the engine’s torque to the transmission when the clutch assembly is engaged.
Who is correct?
Both A and B
When discussing universal joints,
Technician A says that they eliminate vibrations caused by the power pulses of the engine.
Technician B says that they allow the drive shaft to change angles in response to movements of the car’s suspension and rear axle assembly.
Who is correct?
B only
When discussing the purpose of a differential,
Technician A says that it allows for equal wheel speed when the vehicle is rounding a corner or curve.
Technician B says that the ring and pinion in the drive axle multiplies the torque it receives from the transmission.
Who is correct?
B only
When discussing front wheel drive (FWD) vehicles.
Technician A says that the differential is normally part of the transaxle assembly.
Technician B says that the drive axles extend from the sides of the transaxle to the drive wheels.
Who is correct?
Both A and B
- When discussing 4-wheel drive (4WD) components,
Technician A says that 4WD vehicles typically use a transfer case to transfer engine torque to both a front and a rear driving axle.
Technician B says that 4WD vehicles normally have two clutch assembles, two drive shafts, and three differentials.
A only
