Unit Sector

Technical - Transmission

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance Criteria 

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold and italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section.

1. Prepare to diagnose and repair light vehicle clutch system

1.1 Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions

1.2 Diagnostic information is sourced and interpreted

1.3 Diagnostic options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected

1.4 Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed

1.5 Diagnostic tools and equipment are selected and checked for serviceability

2. Diagnose clutch system

2.1 Diagnostic tests are performed according to workplace procedures, safety and environmental requirements 

2.2 Faults are identified from diagnostic test results and causes of faults are determined

2.3 Diagnosis findings are reported according to workplace procedures, including recommendations for necessary repairs or adjustments

3. Repair clutch system

3.1 Repair information is sourced and interpreted

3.2 Repair options are analysed and those most appropriate to the circumstances are selected

3.3 Repair tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked

3.4 Repairs and component replacements and adjustments are carried out according to manufacturer specifications, workplace procedures, and safety and environmental requirements, and without causing damage to components or system

3.5 Post-repair testing is carried out according to workplace procedures to confirm fault rectification, and any further problems detected as having been introduced during the repair process are rectified

4. Complete work processes

4.1 Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and vehicle is presented ready for use

4.2 Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected

4.3 Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures

4.4 Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance and are not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skills 

Description 

Learning skills to:
  • locate appropriate sources of information efficiently.

Reading skills to:
  • interpret information from manufacturer and workshop literature when seeking clutch system specifications and procedures.

Writing skills to:
  • legibly and accurately fill out workplace documentation when reporting diagnostic findings, making repair recommendations, and recording parts and material used.

Oral communication skills to:
  • clarify instructions
  • report diagnostic findings and make repair recommendations.

Numeracy skills to:
  • measure clutch system components and use basic mathematical operations, including addition and subtraction, to calculate distances, areas, tolerances and deviations from manufacturer specifications.

Planning and organising skills to:
  • plan own work requirements and prioritise actions to achieve required outcomes and ensure tasks are completed within workplace timeframes.

Technology skills to:
  • use precision measuring equipment, such as vernier calipers, micrometers and dial indicators.

Range of Conditions

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Safety and environmental requirements  must include:
  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for:
  • lifting and supporting light vehicle transmissions
  • handling and controlling clutch dust and clutch fluid
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of brake dust and brake fluid released from clutch systems.

Release 1 

New unit of competency.

Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

  • remove and refit a light vehicle manual transmission
  • remove, refit or replace a light vehicle flywheel, clutch friction disc, clutch pressure plate assembly and release bearing.

Knowledge Evidence

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

  • work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to diagnosing and repairing light vehicle clutch systems, including procedures for:
  • lifting and supporting light vehicle transmissions
  • handling and controlling clutch dust and clutch fluid
  • environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of brake dust and brake fluid released from clutch systems
  • operating principles of light vehicle clutch systems and associated components, including coefficient of friction
  • application, purpose and operation of light vehicle clutch systems and components, including:
  • wet and dry single and multi-plate clutch
  • dual mass flywheels
  • dampening systems
  • cable operated clutch
  • hydraulically operated clutch
  • diagnostic testing procedures for light vehicle clutch systems, including road testing procedures
  • repair procedures for light vehicle clutch systems , including procedures for removing, replacing and adjusting the systems
  • post-repair testing procedures for light vehicle clutch systems.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the light vehicle clutch systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

  • automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
  • workplace instructions
  • manufacturer light vehicle clutch system specifications
  • light vehicle with manual transmission and with clutch system faults
  • diagnostic equipment for light vehicle clutch systems
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing light vehicle clutch systems, including:
  • transmission lifting equipment
  • clutch aligning tool.
