Missing Words: axle, calculated, final, first, fourth, gears, increased, large, meshes, multiplying, ratio, second, shaft, torque, transmission Power is moved through the ______ transmission_________ via four gears (two sets of two gears). Speed and torque are altered in steps. To explain how this works, let us assign numbers to each of the ________ gears_______. The small gear on the input shaft has twenty teeth. The gear it ______ meshes_________ with has forty. This provides a gear ratio of 2:1. The output of this gearset moves along the ______ shaft_________ of the forty-tooth gear and rotates other gears. The gear involved with _____ first__________ gear has fifteen teeth. This gear rotates with the same speed and with the same _______ torque________ as the forty-tooth gear. However, the fifteen-tooth gear is meshed with a ______ large_________ gear with thirty-five teeth. The gear _____ ratio__________ of the fifteen-tooth and the thirty-five-tooth gearset is 2.33:1. However, the ratio of the entire gearset (both sets of two gears) is 4.67:1. The driveline’s gear ratios are further _____ increased__________ by the gear ratio of the ring and pinion gears in the drive axle assembly. Typical ______axle_________ ratios are between 2.5 and 4.5:1. The final (overall) drive gear ratio is calculated by _______ multiplying________ the transmission gear ratio by the final drive ratio. If a transmission is in first gear with a ratio of 3.63:1 and has a _______ final________ drive ratio of 3.52:1, the overall gear ratio is 12.78:1. If ______ fourth_________ gear has a ratio of 1:1, using the same final drive ratio, the overall gear ratio is 3.52:1. The overall gear ratio is ______ calculated_________ by multiplying the ratio of the first set of gears by the ratio of the ______ second_________ (3.63 times 3.52 equals 12.78). Multiple choice.

Document Name: Student Written Questions – AURLTX101 Version: 2.0 © Strathfield College | RTO Code: 91223 | CRICOS Code: 02736K Page Sequence: Page 13 of 26
AURLTX101 Diagnose and repair light vehicle manual transmissions Multiple choice. Circle all the correct answer 28. The power flow through a five-speed transmission while it is in first gear: A. Power enters on the input shaft, which rotates the countershaft that is engaged with first gear. B. The first gear synchronizer engages with the clutching teeth of first gear and locks the gear to the main shaft, allowing power to flow from the input gear through the countershaft and to first gear and the main shaft. C. Both “ Power enters on the input shaft, which rotates the countershaft that is engaged with first gear” and “The first gear synchronizer engages with the clutching teeth of first gear and locks the gear to the main shaft, allowing power to flow from the input gear through the countershaft and to first gear and the main shaft”. D. Neither “Power enters on the input shaft, which rotates the countershaft that is engaged with first gear” and “The first gear synchronizer engages with the clutching teeth of first gear and locks the gear to the main shaft, allowing power to flow from the input gear through the countershaft and to first gear and the main shaft”. True or False question 29. Third gear powerflow happens when the shift from second to third gear is made, the shift fork returns the first/second synchronizer to its neutral position. A second shift fork slides the third/fourth synchronizer until it locks the third speed gear to the mainshaft. Power flow now goes through the third gear of the countergear to the third speed gear, through the synchronizer to the mainshaft, and driveline. True or False Multiple choice. Circle all the correct answer 30. In fourth gear, the third/fourth synchronizer is moved to lock the clutch gear on the input shaft to the mainshaft. This means power flow is ______. A. Directly from the input shaft to the mainshaft (output shaft) at a gear ratio of 1:1. B. Large gear on the countershaft to drive a smaller gear on the mainshaft. C. Through the fourth gear of the countergear to the fourth speed gear, through the synchronizer to the mainshaft, and driveline. D. None of these answers are correct. 31. How is reverse speed obtained in most transmissions? Reverse speed in most transmissions is typically achieved through the use of an additional gear arrangement that changes the direction of power flow. The gear setup used for reverse is specifically designed to enable the vehicle to move backward. It's important to note that the design of reverse gears and their engagement mechanisms can vary between different types of transmissions (manual, automatic, dual-clutch, etc.). However, the fundamental principle remains consistent: the presence of specific gear arrangements and mechanisms that allow for power to be transmitted in the reverse direction, enabling the vehicle to move backward.

Circle all the correct answer 40. Which of the following is not part of a synchronizer assembly? A. Blocking ring. B. Synchronizer hub. C. Shifting plates or keys. D. Interlock pin. 41. What is the function of a synchronizer? The function of a synchronizer (also known as a synchromesh or synchronizer assembly) in a manual transmission is to facilitate smooth and seamless engagement of gears during gear shifts. It achieves this by equalizing the speeds of the gears being engaged, allowing them to mesh without clashing or grinding. The synchronizer's primary function is to synchronize the speeds of the gears being shifted, allowing for smooth engagement without grinding or clashing. This enhances the longevity of the transmission and improves the overall driving experience by making gear shifts seamless and comfortable for the driver.

AURLTX101 Diagnose and repair light vehicle manual transmissions 42. Explain the role of shift rails and shift forks in the operation of transmissions and transaxles. Shift rails are rods or shafts that run parallel to the main input and output shafts of the transmission or transaxle. They are responsible for guiding the movement of shift forks, which in turn control the position of the gears on the shafts. Shift forks are movable components that slide along the shift rails. Each fork is designed to engage with a specific gear on the transmission's main shaft or countershaft. When the driver shifts gears using the gear shift lever, the movement of the shift fork causes the selected gear to move into its desired position, either engaging or disengaging from its mating gear. Shift rails and shift forks work together to translate the driver's gear selection into the physical movement of gears within the transmission or transaxle. Their precise coordination ensures that the selected gear is engaged smoothly and accurately, facilitating efficient power transfer and providing the driver with control over the vehicle's speed and torque. Multiple choice. Circle all the correct answer 43. When the 1-2 shift rail is moved into first gear, the 3-4 and 5-R shift rails are prevented from moving by the ______. A. Detent ball and spring. B. Shifter plate. C. Shift fork. D. Interlock pin. True or False question 44. Cables are used to connect the shift lever to the transmission. True or False True or False question 45. Rods are used to connect the shift lever to the transmission. True or False 46. Nearly all part-time 4WD systems have a transfer case that not only allows for 2WD or 4WD, but also offers? Nearly all part-time 4WD systems have a transfer case that not only allows for 2WD or 4WD operation but also offers a low-range gear ratio for enhanced off-road capability. This low-range gear ratio provides increased torque Document Name: Student Written Questions – AURLTX101 Version: 2.0 © Strathfield College | RTO Code: 91223 | CRICOS Code: 02736K Page Sequence: Page 17 of 26
