What is the name of the component that allows something to rotate freely in one direction, yet stops it from rotating in the other direction?

• Torque Converter Clutch

• One Way Clutch

• Clutch

• Brake

What is the purpose of the accumulator?

• To cushion brake and clutch applications

• To store high pressure fluid for when it's needed

• To magnify pressure

• To speed up shifts

What is the fastest way to identify the transmission in the vehicle?

• Visual Identification

• Scan Tool

• Magic 8 Ball

What will happen if the torque converter clutch is not operating?

• The vehicle will accelerate slowly

• The vehicle will not move

• The vehicle will have low RPM

• The transmission may overheat

What will happen if the stator is freewheeling?

• The vehicle will accelerate slowly

What is the primary difference between a 6 speed DSG and a 7 speed DSG in a hybrid?

• The 6 speed has a wet clutch and the 7 speed has a dry clutch

• The 7 speed has a wet clutch and the 6 speed has a dry clutch

• The 6 speed has a three clutch stack to accommodate more power

• The 7 speed is stronger

What is the purpose of the electric pump in the 7 speed DSG hybrid transmission?

• Increases clutch locking pressures

• Supplies hydraulic pressure when the ICE is not running (hybrid)

• Provides more positive shifts

• Wait....what
