Question

if a technician is changing a clutch on a 30-year-old vehicle, what should they be especially concerned with on a vehicle that age?

○ a. the vehicle may have old clutch linings containing asbestos.

○ b. the vehicle may have complicated procedures for clutch replacement.

○ c. the older vehicle may require special types of lubricants not available today.

○ d. there could be excessive fluid leaks, which make tools slippery.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Older vehicles (especially 30 - year - old ones) often had clutch linings with asbestos, which is a health hazard. Technicians should be concerned about this.
• Option b: Clutch replacement procedures for older vehicles are generally not more complicated in a way that is unique to their age compared to the asbestos concern.
• Option c: Most standard lubricants can be used or alternatives are available for older vehicles, so this is not a major concern.
• Option d: While fluid leaks can happen, the asbestos in old clutch linings is a more specific and significant concern for a 30 - year - old vehicle's clutch replacement.

Answer:

a. The vehicle may have old clutch linings containing asbestos.
