A Torque Converter

B Drive Shaft

C Crankshaft Main Bearing

D EPC Solenoid

6.   Two technicians are discussing shift feel. Technician A says a problem with the accumulator will create hard shifting. Technician B says a restricting orifice/check ball restricts the amount of fluid flow providing a smoother shift feel. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

2.   There is a whining noise coming from the front of the transmission that increases with engine speed. This noise is present in all gears including park and neutral. The most likely cause of this is the:

A Planetary gear set

B Oil pump

C Output shaft

D Torque converter

7.   Technician A says that a shift solenoid is a hydraulically controlled device used by the transmission for shift control. Technician B says they are computer controlled devices diagnosed with a scanner. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

3.   An automatic transmission slips only when cold. As the vehicle warms up to operating temperature the transmissions performance returns to normal. Which of these is the cause?

A Oil pump

B Hardened seals

C Torque converter

D Input shaft end-play

8.   Technician A says that relays are devices that use low current to control high current. Technician B says resisters are used to limit current flow in devices. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

9.   Technician A says that the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) uses the rotation of the input shaft of an automatic transmission. Technician B says that the parking pawl engages the input shaft to lock an automatic transmission. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

5.   During a transmission fluid check the technician notices the ATF is milky in appearance. The is caused by which of the following?

A Overheating

B Slipping band

C Oxidation

D Oil cooler leak

10.   Technician A says that a TP (throttle position) sensor is actually a potentiometer. Technician B says that as the throttle plate moves the resistance in the TP sensor changes. Who is correct?
