"Bleeding the brakes" is done for what purpose? - To remove air bubbles for a firm pedal "Flushing the brakes" is done for what purpose? - To remove moisture contamination; To remove old worn out brake fluid; To restore corrosion protection "ATF+4" automatic transmission fluid is used primarily in what make of vehicle? - Chrysler Using the wrong type of transmission fluid: - May cause shifting problems; May cause slipping problems; May damage the transmission Draining an automatic transmission by removing the pan removes how much of fluid? - 50% to 70% of the fluid Torque converters are: - Located between the engine and transmission; Filled with automatic transmission fluid; NOT located between the transmission and driveshaft Counterman A says a bad torque converter may give a vehicle poor acceleration and fuel economy. Counterman B says the lockup clutch inside a torque converter engages above certain speeds or when the transmission is in 3rd or 4th gear to improve fuel economy. Who is right? - Both Counterman A and B The type of ATF required for a transmission may be found: - On the transmission dipstick; In the owner's guide; In service information database The leading cause of automatic transmission failure is: - Overheating "CVT" transmissions: - Require a special type of transmission fluid; Have a filter; Usually have a specified fluid change interval; improve fuel economyA common cause of brake pedal vibration or shudder when braking is: - Uneven rotor wear (a "warped" rotor) Brake rotors should be replaced: - If cracked; If worn below minimum thickness or discard specifications; If they have hard spots The "machine to" specification on a brake drum: - Is the same as the discard thickness Counterman A says "Mercon LV" transmission fluid is used in newer Ford and Mercury vehicles.
