Question 1
A vehicle is brought in with an automatic transmission that won't downshift from
cruising speed (forced downshift). Technician A says that the throttle valve (TV)
cable may be out of adjustment. Technician B says that the kickdown switch may
be open. Who is right?
A. A only
B. B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B
CORRECT ANSWER
C
Answer A is wrong. Even though the throttle valve (TV) may be out of adjustment, Technician
Bis also correct.
Answer B is wrong. Even though the kickdown switch may be open,
Question 2
All of the following statements about bushing inspection and measurement are
true EXCEPT:
A. a scored shaft in the bushing contact area may indicate a lack of lubrication.
B. the shaft to bushing clearance may be measured with a wire type feeler gauge.
C. the shaft to bushing clearance may be measured with a vernier caliper and a
micrometer.

@THE STUDY VAULT
,D. normal bushing clearance is 0.015 to 0.025 inch (0.381 to 0.635 mm).
CORRECT ANSWER
D
Answer A is wrong. Scoring occurs when there is a lack of lubrication.
Answer B is wrong. Wire-type feeler gauges can be used to check shaft-to-bushing clearance.
Answer C is wrong. Shaft-to-bushing clearance can also be checked with a vernier caliper and
a micrometer.
Question 3
A customer with an automatic transaxle in a vehicle has a complaint of harsh 3-4
upshifts. All the other shifts are normal. Technician A says the fourth accumulator
piston may be stuck. Technician B says the pressure regulator valve is sticking.
Who is right?
A. A only
B. B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B
CORRECT ANSWER
A
Answer B is wrong. A sticking pressure regulator would cause all shifts to be harsh, not just
one. Answer C is wrong.
Answer D is wrong.
Question 4
2
@THE STUDY VAULT
,When removing a transmission on a rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle, remove all of
the following components EXCEPT:
A. transmission cooler lines.
B. flexplate.
C. torque converter inspection cover.
D. driveshaft
CORRECT ANSWER
B
Answer A is wrong. Transmission cooler lines are removed before the transmission. Answer C
is wrong. The inspection cover is removed before the transmission.
Answer D is wrong. The driveshaft is removed before the transmission.
Question 5
While checking clutch discs, Technician A says the steel plates should be replaced if they
are worn flat. Technician B says the friction discs should be squeezed to see if they can
hold fluid. Who is right?
A. A only
B. B only
C. Both A and B
CORRECT ANSWER
B
Answer A is wrong. Steel plates should be worn flat, but should be checked for thickness;
plates that are too thin should be replaced.
Question 6

@THE STUDY VAULT
, All of the following problems could result in clutch disc burning EXCEPT:
A. a sticking clutch drum check ball.
B. a reduced clutch pack clearance.
C. a damaged clutch piston seal.
D. a higher-than-specified line pressure.
CORRECT ANSWER
D
Answer A is wrong. A sticking clutch drum check ball can cause the clutch discs to slip.
Answer B is wrong. A reduced clutch pack clearance can cause excessive friction on the
clutch discs. Answer C is wrong. A damaged clutch piston seal can cause a fluid leak and a
pressure drop.
Question 7
A planetary gearset is being inspected. Technician A says that all splined shaft mounted
gears must have the splines inspected for shifting of the splines. Technician B says that
blackened gears or pinion shafts indicate overheating and should be replaced. Who is
right?
A. A only
B. B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B
CORRECT ANSWER
A
Answer B is wrong. Blackened gears are indications of overloading and the carrier should be
