AUT126 Final || with Error-free Answers.
The main components of the drivetrain are the transmission, differential, and drive axles.
correct answers True

An engine develops torque that can be multiplied by transmission gears. correct answers True

Large amounts of engine vacuum are formed in the cylinders during the exhaust stroke.
correct answers False

The driveline can multiply both power and torque. correct answers False

As torque is multiplied, rotation speed is also multiplied. correct answers False

Overdrive gears have ratios of less than 1:1. correct answers True

Most automatic transmissions use at least one planetary gear set. correct answers True

Hydraulically activated brake bands and multiple-friction disc packs are used to direct power
flow through the transmission. correct answers True

Some hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) use a CVT that is based on the use of electric
motors/generators to vary drive ratios. correct answers True

Most modern automatic transmissions rely on mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic
components to accomplish gear ratio changes. correct answers True

Most torque converters consist of an impeller, a turbine, and a stator. correct answers True

The weight of a standard transmission flywheel is equal to the weight of an automatic
transmission flexplate. correct answers False

RWD vehicles use a long steel tube, using two universal joints and a slip joint, to connect the
transmission to the rear axle. correct answers True

The main purpose of a differential gear set is to allow equal wheel speed when a vehicle is
turning a corner. correct answers False

A transfer case is used in a 4WD vehicle to allow torque to be transferred to the front-drive
axles. correct answers True

The most common use for hypoid gears is in modern differentials. correct answers True

A bushing is the simplest type of bearing. correct answers True

Many bearings must be capable of withstanding both radial and axial loads. correct answers
True

Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is responsible for the operation, lubrication, and cooling
of the internal parts of the transmission. correct answers True

, All ATF have the same characteristics; therefore, it does not matter which ATF you add to a
particular vehicle. correct answers False

Transmission fluid filters, although different in appearance and composition, have the same
function. correct answers True

The sun gear has teeth on the outer surface. correct answers True

Which of the following is a component of the drivetrain. correct answers Transmission
Differential
Drive axle
(All of the above)

Engine vacuum is largely determined by which of the following? correct answers Engine load

Which device is used to transfer engine torque to an automatic transmission? correct answers
Torque converter

Technician A says that gears may be used to apply torque to other rotating parts. Technician
B says that gears may be used to multiply torque. Who is right? correct answers Both

In order to create a low-pressure area in the cylinder during the intake stroke, the volume of
the cylinder does which of the following? correct answers Increases

Technician A says a torque converter transfers engine power to the transmission, by hydraulic
force.
Technician B says a torque converter divides torque evenly.
Who is correct? correct answers A only

Technician A says by multiplying the number of teeth on one gear by the number of teeth on
a second gear, a gear ratio can be determined.
Technician B says the mathematical relationship, according to the number of teeth, of one
gear to another is expressed as a gear ratio.
Who is correct? correct answers B only

Technician A says gears are used to multiply torque.
Technician B says to apply torque to other rotating parts of the drivetrain, gears are used.
Who is correct? correct answers Both

Which of the following is not true of an overdrive gear? correct answers It increases fuel
economy.
(It increases torque.)
It decreases torque.
It reduces operating noise.

By applying the engine's torque to one of the gears in a planetary gear set and preventing
another member from moving, which of the following changes can take place? correct
answers Torque multiplication
Speed increase
