AUTO 1330 - Automotive Manual Transmission & Powertrain Systems

Credit Hours: 3.00

Prerequisites: AUTO 1000

Designed to give the student a thorough understanding of the principle of torque multiplication and speed reduction through the use of gearing. The power developed in the engine is traced through the power train components. The class will service and repair clutches, transmissions, differentials, drive shafts, axles and transaxles.

Contact Hours: 4

South Campus

OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to show the power flow through a manual transmission.

Objectives: The student will:

  1. Given a manual transmission, identify the components that are part of the power flow for all forward gears and reverse.
  2. Given a manual transmission, determine the gear ratios for all forward and reverse gear ranges.
  3. Given a manual transmission, show the power flow for all forward and reverse gear ranges.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to diagnose and service a manual transmission clutch assembly.

Objectives: The student will:

  1. Identify and explain the function of the major components of a clutch assembly.
  2. Given a vehicle with a faulty clutch assembly, properly diagnose the condition.
  3. Given the necessary components, replace and properly adjust a clutch assembly.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to diagnose and service a rear axle assembly.

Objectives: The student will:

  1. Identify the major components and explain the differential operation.
  2. Given the necessary tools and components, properly set up a rear axle to include pinion preload, carrier preload, backlash, and tooth contact.
  3. Given a faulty rear axle, properly diagnose the condition and list the necessary repairs.
