Part of Lesson Plan: **Automatic Transmission Service (updated) by Dennis Johnson

Activity Overview / Details

Instructor will have students gather into groups of three, assign them a vehicle, and ask them to locate the transmission fluid dipstick on the transmission.

Once they have done this, instructor will ask them to follow the procedures demonstrated to them and check the transmission fluid level and condition on their vehicles.  Also indicate condition of fluid by using visual, smell, and feel strategies. Students will need to determine the condition of the fluid, fluid level, and if the transmission needs to be serviced. I will ask them to record their findings on the inspection sheet during this task. 

During the inspections and after they have completed their forms, instructor will have students perform spot inspections of the other teams and their work and documentation.
