Technician A says that whenever the engine is running the oil pump in the automatic transmission is running. Technician B says that whenever the engine is running the torque converter is turning. Who is correct?

Correct! Wrong!

When checking fluid from an automatic transmission, a technician should:

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says that automatic transmission gaskets cannot be replaced by silicon sealants because of possible inhalation into the hydraulic system of the transmission. Technician B says that any place a gasket is used, there is an appropriate silicon sealant that can be substituted. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

The shifting of gears in an automatic transmission is actuated by the use of:

Correct! Wrong!

The planetary gear set has gears that are:

Correct! Wrong!

If two members of a gear set are locked together, the result is:

Correct! Wrong!

Mechanic A says that different combinations of holding and driving clutches used with different gear sets will provide all of the ranges required by a transmission. Mechanics B says that all large transmissions usually have a parking pawl to prevent movement of the output shaft when the transmission does not have any clutches or bands applied to provide drive. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

To prevent damage to the transmission from metal particles, transmissions may use:

Correct! Wrong!

Pressure relief valves control fluid pressure by using.

Correct! Wrong!

The timing of shifts in an automatic transmission are controlled by:

Correct! Wrong!

In Allison deep ratio models of transmissions, only first gear through the low (deep reduction) planetary gear set.

Correct! Wrong!

An automatic transmission with a high oil level may overheat due to:

Correct! Wrong!

If anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) mixes with the transmission fluid you must:

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says that the inhibitor valve inhibits upshifting when the governor pressure is too high. Technician B says that the inhibitor valve inhibits downshifting when governor pressure is too high. Who is correct?

Correct! Wrong!

An extra planetary gear set to provide for a deep ratio model is found in the Allison:

Correct! Wrong!

When stall testing if engine RPM reading is 400 RPM under specifications, what may be the problem?

Correct! Wrong!

When performing a stall test on an automatic transmission and torque converter, the engine RPM is 200 RPM below manufacturer''s specification, what may be the problem?

Correct! Wrong!

In a planetary gear set with the sun held and the carrier driven, what do you have?

Correct! Wrong!

Warped or damaged clutch packs in an automatic transmission would most likely:

Correct! Wrong!

Clutches used in auto, trans. are:

Correct! Wrong!

In order to provide reduction, overdrive or reverse, an automatic or powershift transmission uses:

Correct! Wrong!

Multi-disc clutches can only be used for holding, never for driving.

Correct! Wrong!

As with any hydraulic system, the transmission fluid is retained in a:
