true
A clutch is used to transfer power from the engine to the transmission.
true

false
Higher rear axle ratio tend to improve fuel economy
true
If the engine were connected directly to the drive-shaft, without a transmission, the engine would stall as soon as the driver engaged the clutch.
true
In an overdrive transmission, the highest gear has a ratio of less than 1:1.
Briefly describe the function of the reverse idler gear assembly.

Anti-friction bearings are those that use a rolling action.
true
Clutch facing springs are used to help cushion the shock to the clutch disc when it engages
which of the following is not a universal joint of the constant velocity(cv) type?
Cross and cage
Friction disc that is pressed against the flywheel.
clutch disc
false
Most flywheels are faced with aluminum for better wear.
false
Only a few cars today have fully synchronized transmissions
true
The counter-shaft gear is also called the cluster gear.
false
The input shaft transfers rotation from the clutch disc to the transmission idler gears
false
The usual gear oil for use in a manual transmission is 120W.
true
Transaxle and front-wheel-drive cares have a smoother ride because there is less uprising weight.
true
a transaxle differential preforms the same tasks as a rear axle differential
true
all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive system both use a transfer case
false
an universal joint consist of two X-shaped yokes linked together.
