Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, by Brejcha, 4th Edition

This comprehensive, revised text continues its tradition of providing the student an up-to-date guide to automatic transmission/transaxle powertrain systems, in an easy-to-understand format. Fundamentals of operation, diagnosis procedures, and service practices develop from the basic/introductory level to an in-depth and comprehensive level. The essentials for achieving ASE and NATEF certification, as well as SAE J 1930 terminology and OBD II procedures are presented throughout to aid the student in relating to real-world application of the material. Current 5-speed, electronically controlled automatic transmissions, CVT powertrains, and the "parallel shift" automatic transmissions used by Honda and Saturn are covered thoroughly.
