Which of the following is NOT a symptom of a damaged transmission clutch pack?

Oil is milky in color
Increased engine noise
Delayed engagement when shifting
Overheating of the transmission

The correct answer is: Oil is milky in color

The characteristic that is not typically a symptom of a damaged transmission clutch pack is when the oil is milky in color. This condition often indicates the presence of coolant in the transmission fluid, which could stem from a separate issue such as a failing heat exchanger or other cooling system problems. The other symptoms like increased engine noise, delayed engagement when shifting, and overheating of the transmission are all more directly related to issues with the clutch pack itself. Increased engine noise may occur due to the engine working harder to compensate for the slip in the clutch. Delayed engagement when shifting can happen when the clutch pack is worn, leading to insufficient engagement and a lag in power transfer. Overheating of the transmission can also result from excessive slipping of the clutch pack, which generates heat as a byproduct of friction.
