AURTTQ001 Inspect and service final drive assemblies
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect and service final drive assemblies. It involves preparing for the task, inspecting the assembly, reporting the inspection findings, servicing and adjusting the assembly, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The final drive assemblies include those of agricultural machinery, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles, mobile plant machinery or outdoor power equipment.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:
inspect and service the final drive assemblies of two different vehicles or machinery, in which the work must involve:
evaluating lubricant condition
inspecting and adjusting lubricant levels
visually inspecting the assemblies for leaks or damage.
Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to inspecting and servicing final drive assemblies, including procedures for working with hazardous final drive lubricants
environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of oil released from final drive assemblies
identification and function of final drive assemblies and components, including:
banjo-type final drives
unitised final drives
transaxle final drives
differentials, including limited slip differentials
types and applications of final drive assembly lubricants and additives
inspection procedures for final drive assembly, including:
checking assembly for lubricant leaks or physical damage
checking lubricant condition and levels
service and adjustment procedures for final drive assembly, including topping up or replacing lubricant as required
post-service testing procedures for final drive assembly.
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 final drive assemblies that they have worked on, 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
workplace instructions
manufacturer final drive specifications
two different vehicles or machinery with final drive assemblies requiring servicing
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing final drive assemblies.
