Unit scope

• Work includes the analysis and maintenance of complex performance transmission, final drive and drivelines including engine-transmission drive couplings. This includes testing, determining repair or performance improvement strategies, conducting repairs, adjustments and post-repair checks

• A complex performance transmission is defined as one that is a specialised motorsport/performance component integrating two or more systems that use either mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical/electronic media

• Driveline systems must cover sub-systems and components including clutches, torque converters, manual and automatic transmissions, drive shafts and final drives

• Diagnosis is to cover that for module and parts replacement in related electrical, electronic, pneumatic or hydraulic control systems

• Driveline system faults include abnormal gear wear, abnormal clutch operations, contamination, hard shifting, harshness, loose mountings, leaks, lubrication, noises, transmission slippage and vibrations.

• Driveline system faults must include indirect faults caused by the influence of external systems which may or may not be faulty in their primary operation
