A discussion concerning CV joint testing is being held.
Technician A says that a recommended method to check CV joints is to raise the vehícle so that the lower control arms are hanging freely; at this point the engine can be
accelerated while noise checks can be performed.
Technician B says that the vehicle should be road tested so that the CV joints can be checked under load.
Who is correct?
O a. A only
O b. B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B
The CV joint boots on the left side of a vehicle appear to be squeezed together; the boots on the right side of the vehicle appear to be stretched apart.
Technician A says that one or more of the engine/transaxle's mounts may be broken.
Technician B says that one or more of the engine/transaxle's subframe mounts may be broken.
Who is correct?
O a. A only
O b.B only
C. Both A and B
O d. Neither A nor B
While diagnosing the cause of TCC shudder: Technician A checks the fluid pressure sent to the clutch. Technician B says that because the shudder occurs only after the clutch is engaged, the problem is the engine, transmission, or another component of the driveline. Who is correct?

- A car jumps out of gear into neutral, particularly when decelerating or going down hills: Technician A checks the shift lever and external gearshift linkage first. Technician B says that the clutch pilot bearing could be the problem. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile diagnosing a noise from a transmission: Technician A says that the noise is caused by something internal if it is most noticeable during a test drive. Technician B says that the noise is caused by the clutch if it disappears when the clutch is disengaged. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardDuring a test drive, a noise that appears to be transmission related disappears when the driver brings the vehicle to a stop and disengages the clutch with the engine at idle. Technician A says that the noise may be caused by an internal transmission problem. Technician B says that the problem may be something interfering with the flywheel or pressure plate.
