  Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles is a comprehensive text that covers the operating principles as well as the service and repair procedures for modern automatic transmissions and transaxles. It is the most complete and up-to-date text on the subject, with hundreds of illustrations and thorough coverage of modern automatic transmissions. The readable format begins with operating theory and progresses from service and maintenance operations to problem diagnosis and repair procedures.

"I liked the way the author breaks down the transmissions into transmission types. By presenting the material in this way, he demonstrates how similar the different makes and models are. It takes some of the mystery out of design." — Roy Marks, Owens Community College

"The topics are arranged in a very logical order. The author's practice of including learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter is a good idea. The manuscript also has many great ASE style questions at the end of each chapter. This book is equal to, if not better than, the text we currently use." — Mitch Walker, St. Louis Community College

Electronic control has revolutionized the field of automotive technology. Automatic transmissions and transaxles in cars today have less weight, increased gear ranges, and improved efficiency, performance, and durability. They also have increased complexity of operation. This new edition of Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles will help technicians understand and work with the new technology.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles presents the theory of operation for the major power transfer and control systems as wail as the diagnosis, service, and repair of common problems.

• Over 850 illustrations reinforce the concepts and show repair procedures.
• Service Tips describe procedures that can help make a job flow more efficiently. Real World Fixes show actual case studies of how problems were diagnosed and repaired.
• The book is oriented around the NATEF task list and meets the needs of technicians preparing for the ASE exam on automatic transmissions.
