This document is the final exam for fifth year mechanical engineering students studying motor vehicle engineering. It is divided into four parts testing different aspects of automotive systems knowledge. Part one contains 22 multiple choice questions testing topics like suspension components, braking systems, manual transmissions, and more. Part two requires short answers to questions about components like torque converters and brake systems. Part three explains differences between parts like differentials and carriers and defines tire specifications. Part four is a matching question section connecting terms like synchronizers and clutch discs to their descriptions.
