CH 34 Week 7

In transverse front-wheel drive layout applications, the transaxle is normally mounted at the _____ of the engine and a primary shaft engages with the splines of the clutch center plate.

• Front

• Rear

• Center

• Side

All of the following statements describing rear-wheel drive systems are true EXCEPT:

• the ring and pinion gear set allows the transfer of power 90 degrees.

• the engine and transmission are transversely mounted at the front.

• drive from the engine is transmitted to a rear axle assembly by a propeller shaft.

• splines of the slip yoke mate to the splines on the transmission output shaft.

This job is performed by the driveshafts, transfer cases, final drives, differentials, and drive axles.

• The layout of the drive train

• The torque being delivered to the appropriate wheels

• The repair of the drivetrain

• None of the above

The CV joint boot does not need to be inspected during routine maintenance, such as during an oil change, for cracks or splits.

• True

• False

In ________ axles, the axle bearing is placed on the outside of the axle housing.

• Straight

• Full-floating

• Dead

• Semifloating

The purpose of the _______ is to transfer the torque that comes from the engine, transmission, driveshaft, and differential to the wheels and tires, propelling the vehicle forward or backward.

• Live axle

• Dead axle

• Reverse axle

• None of the above

The front section of the two-piece driveshaft is supported at its rear end by a:

• differential bearing.

• carrier bearing.

• U-joint.

• pocket bearing.

Another name for the pinion and side gears is:

• torsen gears.

• carrier gears.

• tulip gears.

• spider gears.

Most vehicle manufacturers today use a gear-style limited slip differential design rather than the clutch-type design.

• True

• False

Technician A says that the final drive assembly can be found in the front of the vehicle or the rear of the vehicle. Technician B says that the final drive assembly will be found only in the rear of the vehicle. Who is correct?

• Technician A

• Technician B

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B
