A service technician removed the inspection/fill plug from the differential of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and gear tube started to flow out. Technician A says to quickly replace the plug to prevent any more loss of gear tube. Technician B says to catch the fluid and allow the fluid to continue to drain. Which technician is correct?
- a. Technician A only
- b. Technician B only
- c. Both Technicians A and B
- d. Neither Technician A nor B

- Technician A says that delayed shifting can be caused by worn planetary gearset members. Technician B says that delayed shifts or slippage may be caused by leaking hydraulic circuits or sticking spool valves in the valve body. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhen servicing transfer cases, all of the following are correct, except_____. a. it must be supported on a transmission jack or safety stands b. the chain drive and a planetary gearset must be adjusted to specifications c. visual inspections for leaks and damage are necessary d. follow the manufacturers recommendations for lubricantsarrow_forwardTechnician A says that an in-line six-cylinder diesel engine is usually longer and heavier than a V8 engine of the same displacement. Technician B says that there are twice as many teeth on the crankshaft as there are on the camshaft sprocket. Who is correct? and why? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says check balls are often used to block holes between the transmission valve body and the spacer plate. Technician B says spacer plates may be installed between the transmission valve body and case. Who is right?arrow_forwardAfter draining gear oil from a transaxle, the techniciannotices that the oil has shiny, metallic particles init. What does this indicate?arrow_forwardWhile checking a hydraulic phaser after the camshaft has been removed from the engine: Technician A attempts to rotate the phasers timing gear by hand and replaces it if it does not move. Technician B applies air pressure to the advance and retard ports and replaces it if the gear does not move. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that rotary oil flow is the oil flow around the circumference of the torque convertercaused by the rotation of the torque converter on its axis. Technician B says that the centrifugal lockup clutch is the type installed in most automatic transmissions. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing a pressure test: Technician A says that this test is the most valuable diagnostic check for slippage when a gear is engaged. Technician B says that the test can identify the cause of late or harsh shifting. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardAll of the following are functions of the flywheel, except it ____ . a. provides a mounting place for the clutch assembly b. smooths out cylinder firing pulsations c. has marks used to set the valve timing d. meshes with the starter drive geararrow_forward
- Technician A says that negative caster provides directional stability . Technician B says that pos caster results from excessive positive cam ber . Who is correct ?arrow_forwardTechnician A says that broken or worn engine and transaxle mounts can cause a transaxie to have shiftinf problems.Technician B says that poor shift boot alignment can cause a transaxle to jump out of gear.Who is correct? a.Technician A only b.Technician B only c. both A and B d. Neither A or nor B.arrow_forwardTechnician A says the front wheel bearings on a typical FWD car are sealed and non-adjustable. Technician B says the front wheel bearings on a typical FWD car are greaseable and adjustable. Who is correct?arrow_forward
