ASE G1 Domain 2: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Welcome to your ASE G1 Domain 2: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle 1. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle A vehicle with an automatic transmission experiences no movement in any gear. What is the FIRST thing a technician should check? A. Transmission fluid level B. Shift solenoids operation C. Transmission control module (TCM) for codes D. Differential gear operation None 2. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle During a road test, a technician notes that an automatic transmission slips momentarily when shifting into overdrive. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause? A. A malfunctioning torque converter clutch solenoid B. Worn overdrive gear set C. Overdrive band adjustment is too loose D. Contaminated transmission fluid None 3. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle When diagnosing an automatic transmission that shifts too early and too softly, the technician should FIRST look for which of the following conditions? A. High transmission fluid pressure B. Low transmission fluid pressure C. Transmission fluid contamination D. Faulty shift solenoids None 4. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle What would be the likely result of a restricted transmission fluid filter? A. Delayed gear engagement B. Whining noise from the transmission pump C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B None 5. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle What component in an automatic transmission provides the means to drive the vehicle in reverse? A. Planetary gear set B. Torque converter C. Reverse clutch pack D. Output shaft None 6. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Technician A says that a slipping torque converter can cause a decrease in fuel efficiency. Technician B says that a malfunctioning torque converter can lead to increased transmission temperatures. Who is correct? A. Technician A only B. Technician B only C. Both Technician A and Technician B D. Neither Technician A nor Technician B None 7. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Which of the following conditions would MOST likely be caused by a defective transmission pressure control solenoid? A. The transmission shifts into neutral while driving. B. The transmission defaults to a limp-in mode with only one gear available. C. Harsh or erratic shifting D. A buzzing noise coming from the transmission valve body None 8. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle A customer complains of a whirring sound that changes pitch with vehicle speed in all gears, including neutral. What is the MOST likely source of this noise? A. Differential bearings B. Input shaft bearing C. Torque converter D. Wheel bearings None 9. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle If an automatic transmission experiences delayed engagement only when cold, which of the following is the MOST likely cause? A. Low transmission fluid level B. Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor C. Viscosity breakdown of transmission fluid D. Sticking valves in the valve body None 10. ASE G1: Automatic Transmission/Transaxle After rebuilding an automatic transmission, a technician notes that the transmission exhibits no forward movement, but reverse operates normally. What could be the cause of this condition? A. Misaligned torque converter B. Improperly seated forward clutch piston C. Faulty reverse band D. Clogged transmission fluid cooler None 1 out of 10 Time is Up! Time's up
