Automatic and Manual Transmission/Transaxle and Differential Notes

Name:________________________________ Period__________

1. A transmission is normally found on a ____________ wheel drive vehicle, while a

transaxle is found on a _________________ wheel drive vehicle.

2. When checking the fluid level inside of an automatic transmission or transaxle the

engine must be _________________________ with the vehicle in park.

3. The ______________________ neutral safety switch only allows the starter to operate

when the transmission is in _______________ or _________________.

4. It may be necessary at times to adjust the _________________________ linkage

between the shift lever and the transmission. If adjustment is necessary, be sure to inspect

any components for excessive wear or binding.

5. Most automatic transmissions and transaxles require periodic service intervals. Refer to the owner’s manual or service manual to determine the exact interval.

The transmission service generally consists of the following steps:

A. _________________________ the transmission fluid from the transmission pan.

B. Remove the transmission _______________________ from the transmission.

C. Clean the transmission pan and gasket material from the transmission and pan.

D. Replace the transmission _________________________(if required).

E. Install the transmission pan with the new gasket or sealer and torque the bolts.

F. Refill the transmission with the correct type of transmission fluid.

G. Start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature, and shift the transmission through its gears and check the fluid level on the dipstick.

6. A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) uses a steel drive belt and pulley mechanism. The CVT varies the gear ratio by varying the width of the pulleys. When the pulley width changes, the position of the drive belt also changes. When the position of the belt changes, the gear ratio changes.
