- Calculated the cost of purchasing a rebuilt transmission versus a new transmission
- Measured and calculated the torque specifications for tightening bolts
- Used geometry to align the transmission with the engine
- Calculated the gear ratios and torque converter stall speed
- Used algebra to calculate the correct amount of transmission fluid needed
Continued development related to this activity could include exploring the physics behind how a transmission works, researching different types of transmissions and their advantages/disadvantages, and practicing problem-solving skills by troubleshooting any issues that may arise during the rebuilding process.
