Description: Exceptionally thorough, this book covers every aspect of the ASE certification program in detail. It explores the traditional rear-wheel drive, the modern front-wheel drive, and four-wheel and all-wheel drive systems -- considering for each system the theory of basic operation and the methods used to diagnose, adjust and to repair it. Covers clutches, transmissions, transaxles, driveshaft and universal joints, drive axles, four-wheel drives, electrical/electronic drive trains, and extra-duty and high performance drive trains. Theory chapters explain how the system works, the varied terminology used, and the variety of systems that can be found. The service and repair chapters describe the procedures used to maintain the system for proper operation, diagnosing the cause of a problem when it does occur, and then repairing and adjusting the unit to correct the problem. Uses a generic approach throughout -- as general to all types of vehicles as possible. Makes extensive use of illustrations throughout. For technicians and anyone interested in automotive transmissions.
