Which outcome occurs when thermal expansion pushes beyond tolerance limits of precision-ground gear teeth inside a transmission?

💡 Explanation

Increased NVH results because exceeding tolerance causes non-ideal contact, activating the stick-slip friction mechanism; this generates vibrations and noise. Ideal contact would minimize vibrations, rather than increased viscosity alleviating noise.
