COURSE SYLLABUS 1. TITLE OF COURSE: AUTOMOTIVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLES AND CLUTCHES PREFIX/NUMBER: ASE 151 CREDIT HOURS: 2 CR. (1L/1.5 LBV) 2. PREREQUISITE: None 3. RESOURCES NEEDED: TEXT: Automotive Manual Transmissions and Transaxles SUPPLIES: Basic tools, uniform shirts, safety glasses 4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Focuses on lecture and related laboratory experiences in the diagnosis and repair of automotive manual transmissions, transaxles and clutches and related components. 5. COURSE GOAL: 6. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of the course, students will: (A) Diagnose clutch noise, binding, slippage, pulsation, and chatter; determine necessary action. (B) Inspect clutch pedal linkage, cables, automatic adjuster mechanisms, brackets, bushings, pivots, and springs; perform necessary action. (C) Inspect hydraulic clutch slave master cylinders, lines, and hoses; perform necessary action. (D) Inspect release (throw-out) bearing, lever, and pivot; perform necessary action. (E) Inspect and replace clutch pressure plate assembly and clutch disc. (F) Inspect, remove or replace crankshaft pilot bearing or bushing (as applicable). (G) Inspect flywheel and ring gear for wear and crack, measure run-out; determine necessary action. (H) Inspect engine block, clutch (bell) housing, and transmission/transaxle case mating surfaces; determine necessary action. (I) Measure flywheel-to-block run-out and crankshaft endplay; determine necessary action. (J) Remove and reinstall transmission/transaxle. (K) Disassemble, clean, and reassemble transmission/transaxle components. (L) Inspect transmission/transaxle case, extension housing, case mating surfaces, bores, bushings, and vents; perform necessary action. (M) Diagnose noise, hard shifting, jumping out of gear, and fluid leakage concerns; determine necessary action. (N) Inspect, adjust, and reinstall shift linkages, brackets, bushings, cables, pivots, and levers. (O) Inspect and reinstall power train mounts. (P) Inspect and replace gaskets, seals, and sealants; inspect sealing surfaces. (Q) Remove and replace transaxle final drive. (R) Inspect, adjust, and reinstall shift cover, forks, levers, grommets, shafts, sleeves, detent mechanism, interlocks and springs. (S) Measure endplay or preload (shim or spacer selection procedure) on transmission/transaxle shafts; perform necessary action. (T) Inspect and reinstall synchronizer hub, sleeve keys (inserts), springs, and blocking rings. (U) Inspect and reinstall speedometer drive gear, driven gear, vehicle speed sensor (VSS), and retainers. (V) Diagnose transaxle final drive assembly noise and vibration concerns; determine necessary action. (W) Remove, inspect, measure, adjust, and reinstall transaxle final drive pinion gears (spiders), shaft, side gears, side bearings, thrust washers, and case assembly. (X) Inspect lubrication devices (oil pump or slingers); perform necessary action. (Y) Inspect, test, and replace transmission/transaxle sensors and switches. 7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES: (A) There will be a written exam after each unit and a final, during the 7½ week term, during class time, and on announced dates. All will be weighted equally, except the final will count double. (B) There may be unannounced “pop” quizzes throughout the 7½ week term, which will also be weighted equally to other exams. (C) Routine evaluations will be made on an individual basis by the instructor during each lab session. (D) There will be a lab final (performance) exam. The score on this exam will be entered twice (doubled) when computing your final grade. (E) Grading will be weighted--30% of your grade for written assignments, 40% of your grade for lab assignments, 30% of your grade for tests. One grade point value will be deducted from total grade percentage for every hour absent.

All announced examinations will be made up of multiple choice, completion and short essay type questions and will be given during regular class periods. Make-up exams will only be given if prior arrangements have been made. 2. Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week. Reinstatement procedures are described in the PCC catalog. 3. Tardy Policy: A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies. 4. Assignments/Missed Exams: It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments. If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist. Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion. 8. COURSE OUTLINE: I. Clutch Fundamentals II. Clutch Diagnosis and Service III. Manual Transmission/Transaxle Fundamentals IV. Manual Transmission/Transaxle Diagnosis and Repair 9. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION: To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities. 10. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor. 11.
