Clutch slippage is more noticeable during deceleration.

Pressure plate assemblies may include the following except:

What is another name for the diaphragm spring?

Most modern friction discs have cushion springs to:

Modern clutch friction is commonly made from:

Clutch chatter is caused by oil contamination which causes glazing.

Movement of a vehicle while starting the engine with the pedal in the disengaged position is caused by:

When the driver presses the clutch pedal in a hydraulic operating system, the:

All of the following are true of a typical synchronizer assembly except?

Using a lubricant thicker than specified lubricant can lead to:

The cone on a synchronizer's blocking ring serves as a cone-clutch assembly during the changing of gears.

The component used to ensure the main-shaft (output shaft) and main (speed) gear locked to it are rotating at the same speed is known as a:

Which type of gear develops gear whine at high rotational speeds?

A poorly adjusted shift linkage can cause which of the following problems?

A broken or worn engine or transaxle mount can cause poor shifting.

All of the following will cause hard shifting on a manual transmission except:

Clutch slippage is not more noticeable during deceleration.
Pressure plate assemblies include essential components but do not have a release fork, return springs, and pivot.
The diaphragm spring is also referred to as the Bellville spring.
Modern friction discs often incorporate cushion springs for smoother clutch engagement.
Common materials for modern clutch friction include cotton, paper, and wire.

Clutch chatter arises from oil contamination leading to glazing.
Drag is the reason a vehicle may move while starting the engine with the pedal disengaged.
In a hydraulic clutch system, pressing the clutch pedal results in the master cylinder piston moving.

A typical synchronizer assembly has various true characteristics, with the exception that the sleeve rotates on the hub.
The blocking ring's cone functions as a cone-clutch during gear changes.
Synchronizers ensure that the output shaft and speed gear rotate at the same speed.

Spur gears are known to develop gear whine at high rotational speeds.
Poorly adjusted shift linkages can lead to gear clash, hard shifting, or the gear jumping out of position.
A broken or worn engine or transaxle mount can negatively affect shifting performance.
Hard shifting issues in manual transmissions may arise from various factors, but a worn pilot bearing is not among them.
