Automotive Quiz Bowl Manual Transmission and Axle

U-joints

The bushing in the extension housing on a transmission is worn on one side. This could be caused by binding:

Release (throw out) Bearing

A chirping sound is heard when the clutch pedal is depressed. Components that could make this noise are the Clutch Disc, the Input Shaft Bearing and the:

hard shifting.

A bent shift rail will cause:

must be replaced

The recommended service for a warped pressure plate is:

the pinion gear

In the event that the ring gear must be replaced due to wear, name the component that must also be replaced:

inch pound torque wrench

Name the tool that is used to check and adjust pinion bearing preload:

A bent axle

Axle seal leakage could caused by:

Limited slip differential

A differential that both wheels drive during acceleration, Chatter may occur from worn parts, and they often use special fluids, are known as:

CV (constant velocity) joint.

A front wheel drive vehicle makes a clicking sound when cornering. This could be caused by worn or damaged:

The backup lights are inoperative.

A loose ground connection in the buck up light circuit will result in what condition?

detent spring

A manual transmission slips out of third gear. The most likely cause is:

excessive pinion preload.

A rear wheel drive vehicle, with a limited slip differential, chatters while turning corners. The differential may have the wrong fluid. Another possible cause could be:

Vacuum

In a vacuum operated transfer case. What operates the mode fork to switch between 2WD and 4WD.

starter relay.

A clutch start switch is normally open when the clutch pedal is released. This switch is designed to complete a circuit between the ignition switch and the:

hygroscopic

In a clutch master cylinder the hydraulic fluid tends to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The fluid is known as:

worn motor mounts

A manual transmission jumps out of gear. Loose shift linkage may be causing this problem. Another cause for this condition could be:

pointed.

While discussing a synchronizer assembly in a three speed manual transmission, the splines on a synchronizer clutch sleeve should be:

Unbalanced tire

A vehicle has a vibration while driving forward that increases with vehicle speed. The likely cause of this condition is undercoating on the driveshaft, Worn U-joints, or

crankshaft.

While performing flywheel resurfacing, before removal a mark should be placed on the flywheel and the:

cornering.

Front wheel drive vehicles both inboard and outboard axle joints can make noise while accelerating. The outboard CV-joints noise is more prominent while:

clutch release bearing.

There is a chirping sound as the clutch pedal is depressed. It could be a result of a worn:

Tapered Roller

Which type of bearing typically requires a preload:

Chain

A 4WD vehicles transfer case makes a popping sound in 4WD when accelerating from a stop. What component is the most likely cause:

driveshaft run out

A vehicle has an excessive vibration while driven at 55 mph. This could be caused by pinion shaft companion flange run out. This could also be caused by:

Dial indicator

The best tool for checking ring gear run out is a:

pilot bearing.

There is a squeal from the clutch housing when the clutch pedal is depressed all the way to the end of its travel. The squeal is likely a faulty:

chipped gear teeth.

Metal shavings are found in the oil after draining a 5 speed manual transaxle. These shavings would appear like shinny metal or silver. These metal shavings are likely from

Different Size Tires

An all wheel drive vehicle suffers from continuous viscous clutch failure. What is the most likely cause?

pressure plate

A manual transaxle is suffering from clutch chatter. The clutch chatter is caused by glazed clutch facings. Another cause for clutch chatter is a worn:

a chipped or damaged tooth.

While discussing a growling sound in second gear only. The most likely cause is the second gear likely has:

Too much main shaft end play

A manual transmission slips out of high gear. What could be the cause?

worn clutch disc facing.

In a vehicle with a single-plate clutch, loss of free pedal can be caused by a:

clutch (input) gear

A four-speed fully synchronized transmission has a clunking or knocking noise in first and reverse only. The cause could be a broken tooth on the:

CV joints

A manual transaxle makes a clunking noise on acceleration and on deceleration.

A loose differential case pinion shaft could be the cause. Another possible cause could be worn:

front axle shaft CV joint

A four-wheel drive vehicle vibrates while the front axle is engaged. Different front and rear tire diameters could be the cause. Another cause could be a faulty:

too much free pedal travel.

The clutch does not release fully when the pedal is pushed to the floor. The possible causes could be a seized pilot bearing, a warped clutch disc, or

Splash lubrication

___ ___ is when oil is moved throughout the case.

Mainshaft

The ___ has all the gears and synchronizers mounted on it.

Clutch

The input shaft is often called a ___ shaft.

Front bearing

A ___ -__ retainer holds the input shaft bearing against the gear case.

Reverse idler

The ___ ___ gear is the only gear that moves into mesh with another gear.

Countergear

The gears are in constant mesh with their counterparts on the ___.

Countershaft

The ___is usually one gear made of a series of gears that mesh with various gears on the mainshaft.

Blocker ring

___ ___ synchronizers are the type commonly used in cars.

Bearings

___ support the ends of almost all rotating parts within a transmission.
