Overhaul automatic transmissions

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to return an automatic transmission to original manufacturer tolerances and clearances. It involves preparing for the task, dismantling and evaluating the transmission, carrying out the overhaul process, reassembling and testing the transmission, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working on automatic transmissions in vehicles from all sectors of the industry.

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 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:

mechanical repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer automatic transmission specifications

three different automatic transmissions requiring overhaul, one of which must be a transaxle

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for overhauling and adjusting automatic transmissions.
