Vehicle powertrains include components such as the clutch, transmission, driveshaft, differential and axle.

Course topics covered:

Diagnosing and Servicing Driveline Concerns

Students are taught to identify and address issues related to driveshafts, U-joints, differentials, and axle assemblies in rear-wheel-drive vehicles, ensuring these critical systems operate smoothly.

Manual Transmission and Clutch System Maintenance

This course provides in-depth training on diagnosing and servicing manual transmission clutch systems, flywheel and clutch control mechanisms, teaching students how to keep these components functioning at peak performance.

Introduction to Automatic Transmissions

Students will explore the basics of automatic transmission systems, learning to diagnose and service common issues such as fluid leaks and shift concerns.

Fluid Maintenance Procedures

Proper maintenance is key to transmission longevity. Students will perform regular fluid checks and replacements to prevent wear and extend the life of transmission systems.

Problem Identification and Root Cause Analysis

By learning how to identify potential causes of performance issues, students will develop the ability to troubleshoot and solve problems efficiently, ensuring vehicles operate reliably.
