Drive the Shaft
This component when fails presents with a Popping/Clunk sound during initial Acceleration/Deceleration or initial movement in Reverse
What is the U-Joint
This component when fails presents with an inability to shift gears while coming from a stand still
What is a Clutch brake
During a Transmission rebuild, this procedure if not done properly will cause shifting problems and grinding gears leading to possible damage to the gear train system
What is Timing the Shafts
This procedure must be done using an appropriate scan tool during certain component replacements on an Automated Transmission.
What is a Relearn/Re-calibration Procedure
This component when fails begins to allow debris to flow in the system and can be found on the dipstick in extreme situations
What is a Fiber gear Failure
This type of U-joint can be found on certain types of Automated Manual transmissions and requires no grease as the component is sealed for life and last longer
What is an RPL style U-Joint
This component is easily identified as failed when separating a transmission from the engine, pieces of this component fall out from the clutch housing. This component is found on the Clutch disc
What is a Torsion Spring
This component utilizes air pressure and allows for the transmission to reach higher and lower sets of gears
What is the High-Low Range Splitter
This test is performed with a Multimeter and used to determine when a wiring harness has failed.
What is a Pin to Pin Resistance Test
This type of failure can be found by performing excessive stop and go driving and driving while over weight which could cause internal failure of the transmission components
What is Fluid Overheating
This type of driveline failure can be found with an audible grumbling sound coming from the driveline but only while in motion.
What is a Carrier Bearing Failure
What is a Throw Out Bearing
This switch when closed triggers a back up alarm and lights to turn on and can be found on the Top Plate
What is the Reverse Switch
During instrumentation or sensor failure on an Automated Manual transmission, the transmissions will default to this action.
What is a Safety Neutral Protocol
This symptom presents when a transmission experiences failures during cold starting and goes away when the transmission fluid builds proper temperature
What is Morning Sickness
This component is responsible for allowing the driveshaft system to flex it's length to accommodate suspension movements from the differential
What is the Slip Yoke
This component failure causes the manual transmission input shaft to become rounded out and damaged.
What is a Failed Pilot Bearing
This component is part of the Top Plate and sits in between grooves of the Synchronizers
What is the Shift Forks
This feature prevents the automated Manual transmission from shock loading the Driveline system to prevent u-joint failure
What is Torque Limiting
This component is responsible for when sealing a transmission solenoid and when fails has a flat or square appearance.
What is an O-Ring
The Driveline failure can be diagnosed when the driver reports a Chassis Vibration that is responsive to Road Speed
What is an Out of Phase Driveline
This service procedure should be completed during a clutch replacement, and when missed will present with clutch slipping, glazing, and possible squeaking sounds while engaging and disengaging the clutch
What is a Flywheel Resurface
This component sits in the main shaft and missing teeth in the gears that sit on the main shaft slide over this during assembly and disassembly.
What is the Main Shaft Key
While driving in this condition, the automated Manual transmission will begin it's initial gear in a higher gear to facilitate a quicker start off.
What is Bobtailing
This component is used to control when a clutch pack is to be stationary or allowed to rotate along with a set of planetary gears
What is a Clutch Solenoid
