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. Select one:

• 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. Select one:

• True

• False

In _______ axles, the axle bearing is placed on the outside of the axle housing. Select one:

• 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
