The Sixth Edition offers up-to-date coverage of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), drivelines for front-wheel drive (FWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles, and provides the latest information on today's high-tech electronic controls and automatic shifting devices. The book now provides strong coverage of both electronic and hydraulic controls. Reworked end-of-chapter questions ensure clarity and appropriate location in the text. Updated photo sequences and many updated illustrations enhance students’ visual understanding. Job sheets in the Shop Manual have been updated to align with the 2013 MLR-AST-MAST task lists. The book provides the most complete and up-to-date information on automatic transmission theory, diagnosis, and repair available in a single source. Extensive illustrations and step-by-step photo sequences include all major automatic transmission repair procedures and promote professional work practices. Extensive information guides students in rebuilding and design of most major transmissions from Ford, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, and Nissan. Coverage of hybrid vehicle transmission designs, the Lepelletier gear setup, power split units, various continuously variable transmission (CVT) designs, and electronic control systems prepares students for successful on-the-job performance. Job Sheets in the Shop Manual help students perform common service procedures.
