CHAPTER 38 . Manual Transmissions and Transaxles 1121 ASE-STYLE REVIEW QUE HONS 6. Technician A says that in a conventional transmission, the speed gears freewheel around the mainshaft until they are locked to it by the appropriate synchronizer. Technician B says that speed gears are an integral part of the countershaft assembly. Who is correct? in the axles, 1. Technician A says that most trensales have a coun- tershaft between the main and output shafts. Techni- cian B says that a countershafl is always in motion when the engine is running. Who is correct? speed a. Technician A only b. Technician B only ent of wn as a. Technician A only b. Technician B only C. Both A and B 231 d. Neither A nor B over- 7. While discussing the power flow through a five-speed transmission while it is in first gear: Technician A c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B says that power enters on the input shaft, which rotates the countershaft that is engaged with first gear. Technician B says that the first gear synchronizer engages with the clutching teeth of first gear the 2. While discussing the various types of transmissions found on today's vehicles: Technician A says that one type is the sliding gear transmission. Technician B says that one type is the sliding collar transmission. and locks gear to the main shaft, allowing power to flow from the input gear through the countershaft and to first gear and the main shaft. Who is correct? Who is correct? rota- a. Technician A only noitoa. Technician A only b. Technician B only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B C. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B 3. Technician A says that the countergear or cluster gear is actually several gears machined out of single piece of iron or steel. Technician B says that the countergear is driven by the clutch gear and drives the mainshaft speed gears. Who is correct? a. Technician A only d. Neither A nor B and 8. Technician A says that double-cone synchronizers have friction material on both sides of the synchro- nizer rings. Technician B says that multiple-cone syn- chronizers are used with larger engines and require a larger transmission housing. Who is correct? naft are a. Technician A only b. Technician B only b. Technician B only C. Both A and B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B d. Neither A nor B 4. Technician A says that reverse lamp switches are acti- vated at the transmission/transaxle by the gearshift lever. Technician B says that reverse lamp switches are activated by a sensor at the input shaft. Who is 9. Technician A says that some synchronizer assemblies use frictional material on the blocking rings to reduce slippage. Technician B says that the inside of some blocking rings is shaped like a cone lined with many sharp grooves. Who is correct? ft correct? a. Technician A only a. Technician A only b. Technician B only uetraldong b. Technician B only C. Both A and B C. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B d. Neither A nor B 5. Technician A says that if a single idler gear is used to obtain 10. While discussing shift mechanisms: Technician A says that the interlock notches hold the transmission in the selected gear. Technician B says that the detent notches prevent the selection of more than one gear obtain its size and number of teeth must be used to calculate ratios. Technician B says that an idler reverse gear, gear is often used for reverse gear because it gear causes the output shaft to rotate in the reverse direc- tion of the input shaft. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only during operation. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B C. Both A and B d. Neither A nor B d. Neither A nor B
