Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: April 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect, test and replace automatic or power shift transmissions and associated components. It involves preparing for the task, inspecting and testing the transmission, replacing the transmission, performing post-installation testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The automatic transmissions include those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles or mobile plant machinery.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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 automatic transmissions of heavy vehicles or machinery that they have inspected, tested and replaced, 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
two different heavy vehicles or machinery with automatic transmissions requiring testing and replacement
test equipment for heavy vehicle automatic transmissions
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting, testing and replacing heavy vehicle automatic transmissions.
