Question 1

Which of these is not a common fault found when inspecting a flex plate?

Accepted Answer

Discoloration from heat is not typically considered a fault in a flex plate, whereas cracks, elongation of bolt holes, and starter ring gear damage are common issues.

Question 2

Which of the following is least likely to be a fault found when inspecting a flexplate and flexplate mounting area?

Accepted Answer

Heat discoloring is least likely to be a fault found in a flexplate and its mounting area compared to the other options, which are more common issues.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because when installing the torque converter, it must engage with the input shaft, stator support, and pump drive, which are the three separate engagements that should be felt. Technician A is incorrect because the torque converter is typically installed onto the transmission first, and then the assembly is bolted to the flex plate.

Question 4

Technician A says that when inspecting the torque converter, you need to check the snout of the converter where the seal and bushing rides for excessive wear. Technician B says that the internal end play of the converter must be checked. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. Checking the snout for excessive wear is important to ensure proper sealing and function, while checking the internal end play is crucial for assessing the converter's internal condition and performance.

Question 5

Which of the following should be inspected before reinstalling the transmission?

Accepted Answer

All of the mentioned components should be inspected before reinstalling the transmission to ensure there are no leaks or alignment issues.

Question 6

The transmission cooler should always be cleaned before installing a new or rebuilt transmission.

Accepted Answer

Cleaning the transmission cooler is essential to remove any debris or contaminants that could damage the new or rebuilt transmission.

Question 7

The aerosol can transmission cooler cleaning canister is usually good for three or four coolers before it needs replacing.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The aerosol can transmission cooler cleaning canister...

Question 8

What can a leaking automatic transmission fluid cooler cause?

Accepted Answer

A leaking automatic transmission fluid cooler can cause all of the mentioned issues: transmission failure due to low fluid, antifreeze contamination, and transmission fluid leaking into the radiator.

Question 9

Blocked transmission coolers can starve which of the following transmission circuits?

Accepted Answer

Blocked transmission coolers can starve the transmission lubrication circuit, as the cooler is part of the lubrication system that helps maintain proper fluid flow and temperature.

Question 10

Technician A says it is critical to clean and inspect the transmission fluid cooler and lines. Technician B says metal particles and clutch material can become stuck inside the fluid cooler or fluid cooler lines. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. Cleaning and inspecting the transmission fluid cooler and lines is critical because metal particles and clutch material can indeed become stuck inside, potentially causing damage or reduced performance.

Question 11

Technician A says you can clean a transmission cooler and lines using the shop's parts cleaning tank. Technician B says you can clean a transmission cooler and lines with an aerosol flushing kit. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because an aerosol flushing kit is specifically designed for cleaning transmission coolers and lines, ensuring that any debris or contaminants are effectively removed.

Question 12

Technician A says when replacing an automatic transmission, it is critical to clean and inspect the transmission fluid cooler and lines. Technician B says metal particles and clutch material can become stuck inside the fluid cooler or fluid cooler lines. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. It is important to clean and inspect the transmission fluid cooler and lines when replacing an automatic transmission because metal particles and clutch material can indeed become lodged in these components, potentially causing damage to the new transmission.

Question 13

Technician A says you can clean a transmission cooler and lines using the shop's parts cleaning tank. Technician B says you can clean a transmission cooler and lines with an aerosol flushing kit. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because an aerosol flushing kit is specifically designed for cleaning transmission coolers and lines, ensuring proper removal of contaminants.

Question 14

Before installing a new or rebuilt transmission, which of the following must be carefully cleaned and inspected?

Accepted Answer

The transmission oil cooler must be carefully cleaned and inspected to ensure there are no contaminants that could damage the new or rebuilt transmission.

Question 15

Technician A says that the cooler and cooler lines should be flushed as part of a transmission rebuild. Technician B says that if the cooler is not flushed oil returning from the cooler can carry debris into the torque converter, and cause damage to it. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Technician A says that the cooler and...

Question 16

Tech A states that you should use the transmission bolts to pull the transmission into the engine. Tech B states that the transmission should slide over the dowel pins and against the engine easily. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Tech B is correct because the transmission should align and slide over the dowel pins easily without using bolts to pull it into place, which could cause damage.

Question 17

Transmission coolers can be cleaned by:

Accepted Answer

An aerosol flushing kit is specifically designed to clean transmission coolers by flushing out debris and contaminants.

Question 18

A transmission fluid cooler that is leaking could cause all of the following except:

Accepted Answer

A leaking transmission fluid cooler can lead to contamination of the transmission fluid, plugging of lines, and contamination of antifreeze, but it would not cause the transmission fluid to freeze.

Question 19

Tech A states that transmission coolers must be replaced when replacing or rebuilding the transmission. Tech B states that the transmission cooler must be flushed to clear out debris before installing the new/rebuilt transmission. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

Tech B is correct because flushing the transmission cooler is necessary to remove any debris or contaminants that could damage the new or rebuilt transmission. Replacing the cooler is not always required unless it is damaged or cannot be properly cleaned.

Question 20

After the transmission is installed properly into the vehicle, approximately what percentage of the total transmission fluid should be added to the transmission?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C because after the transmission is installed properly into the vehicle, approximately 75% of the total transmission fluid should be added to the transmission.
