Question

Megan Davis · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Technician B is correct because the primary function of a clutch brake is to stop the rotation of the transmission gears to allow for smoother shifting into first or reverse gear from neutral, especially in heavy-duty vehicles. It is not designed to bring the vehicle to a halt at low speeds; that function is performed by the vehicle's main braking system.
