[@surajmadhu-techgobbler]

Really nice video!! Thanks a lot. Nobody really talked about iMT like this. Have a few questions. 1. U explained how the clutch gets disengaged and engaged while starting and stopping. What about when your shifting while driving ? Does the clutch only engage when u move the gear lever? So if it’s in 1st gear and you change to 2nd does the clutch engage after you’ve moved the gear because it should engage before you move the gear right? And after shifting when does the clutch engage? Only when you throttle? 2. You said half clutch thing about creeping is bad. That holds good for all automatic transmission tight? The creep function in every car is bad for the clutch right? But in heavy traffic there’s no other option. But to use the creep function.

[@RealAutoReviews]

Aren't you the same person who's angry with me on the Shumi expose video? 😂 You also shat on the Skoda Kushaq video. You should have ideally also gotten butthurt in this one too as even this one contains a reference to one of your favourites 😊

[@dboyhrishiislive6545]

Best imt explanation video I watched till the date

[@RealAutoReviews]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@drakes4471]

Very good explanation. I have had multiple occasions in my KIA Sonet IMT where I get the warning for transmission overheated and to park the car with engine on and in neutral gear. In Bangalore I encounter Bumper to Bumper traffic a lot of times where in the traffic never stops moving so you can't stop moving and need to constantly movE little by little. So like you said I keep moving little by little in 2nd gear (Sometimes 1st) but there is not enough gap between me and the car in front to actually press the Accelerator. So as per your explanation this is where the car still keeps clutch engaged since I'm not /cannot hit accelerator and transmission overheats. I contacted KIA service guys and only advice they could provide is to put the car on neutral whenever I get the chance but even this is difficult to do in the slow moving bumper to bumper traffic. This is the only headache with IMT :(

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@drakes4471 yes, unfortunately that's the only thing you can do.

[@dhyanponnanna2394]

Check the actuator oil while you service without miss, or else you'll encounter actuator problem resulting to actuator changing circumstances. Actuator cost around 1.3 lakhs.

[@vswargam]

Very good explanation!! When driving in bumper to bumper traffic, my understanding is that when the car stalls, it would be good to move to neutral. When the car moves, then only move to 1st gear and press accelerator. Is this right?

[@RealAutoReviews]

Absolutely! Exactly what you would in a car conventional with a conventional manual gearbox 😃

[@vigneshsekar34]

​@@RealAutoReviewshi thanks for the video. So IMT don't have torque converter am i right. So engine will stall. Or clutch connected to brake??

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@vigneshsekar34 you can't stall the engine in an iMT as well. It will not engage the clutch at standstill unless you are in first or second gear 😊

[@khiyanurvallikad6431]

If you are on a very steep slope in 1st gear, whats the maximum slip you can get? Will the clutch allow the engine to rev up to 4000 rpm also if needed? Or will the vehicle just stay in 1 place without moving. Or if you are badly stuck in an off-road situation. Also is there preset rev limit the system follows above which it will not slip the clutch eg no slip more than 2500rpm or some thing is it fully flexible? (more applicable for less powerful cars I know). Because 1 advantage of manuals is that you can really multiply engine power substantially for short periods like that.

[@rajeshdubey9796]

Actually the car doesn't stall at all. You can just release the brake in the first or second gear, even without the accelerator and it crawls at a slow speed , and this is very helpful in bumper to bumper traffic.

[@niranjanshinde2144]

Do you have to press brake before every gear change - upshift and downshift??

[@RealAutoReviews]

No!!!!! NEVER! You use the brake ONLY to slow down and/or stop.

[@shyamshukla5655]

When at stop signal while applying brake is it to be in drive mode or immdtly to be put in neutral mode

While shifting gears do we need step away from pedals? Or what is the best way to shift gears in imt ?

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@sahilbajaj9028 From Neutral to First gear: Foot on the brake, engage gear, leave brake, accelerate. Same for neutral to reverse. All other gears UPSHIFTING: foot OFF the brake, leave throttle momentarily while changing the gear, accelerate. Downshifting: foot OFF the throttle, and on the brake because you are slowing down. The brake pressure will depend upon how quickly you want to slow down. Hope this helps! 😃

I know this is more than a year at this point, but I just got a bit interested in this iMT transmission mainly because the Carens T-GDi (who wouldn't like a practical MUV with such a powerful engine? 😉) is not offered with a manual transmission, being offered with the iMT instead. I have a few concerns with the transmission tech: 1. The long-term reliability of the whole setup with that enhanced complexity, including the extra sensors with the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) and brake, though for the brake, I know that pressing that and the accelerator together dampens accelerator input in manual cars due to the ECU knowing that the brake is being used. Maybe the same sensor setup is used for the iMT too, and the increase in parts and complexity might not be too much. 2. Releasing the brake and not pressing the accelerator pedal does not completely release the clutch, as you'd said. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, for example if traffic is moving far too slowly to warrant using the accelerator, instead just fully releasing the clutch and letting the idle RPMs move the car at a certain speed would not be possible. Using the accelerator to let the clutch fully engage would be dangerous in this case. 3. If one is driving at a slightly high speed on a rough patch of road, the gear stick's constant shaking might possibly confuse the intention sensor and make it inadvertently release the clutch, thereby possibly increasing wear rate. 4. Does it automatically rev-match when for example downshifting to get ready for an overtake? But your video was very helpful! Thanks a lot for this!

[@RealAutoReviews]

Thanks! 1) A regular manual's ECU isn't programmed this way. It doesn't need to be. As you won't be standing on the brake and accelerator at the same time. It's there in cars with torque converters, CVTs, and DSGs/DCTs. It's there to prevent transmission damage by boy racers who might keep the throttle and brake pressed at drag races for way too Whether it's there or not in the IMT shouldn't matter to you because you anyway won't be keeping both the pedals pressed for long, right? 2) You might not be able to give throttle in these situations but you can at least put it in neutral everytime you come to a stop. THAT would disengage the clutch and would simulate creeping in a regular manual. 3) Lol, NO. That would never happen if you're Sebastian Loeb. 4) No. It doesn't. It's not taking care of downshifts for you, right? It's only taking care of the clutch operation. 😃 Hope this helps!

Hi, I have just booked SONET imt, but now after watching your video I am a little worried about how to manage it in stop and go traffic where you would hardly get time to press accelerator?

[@RealAutoReviews]

The next best thing you can do is to put it in neutral the moment you come to a stop. 😃

Hi.. How is drive power difference between sonet 1.2 petrol MT and 1.0Turbo petrol IMT. What is the mileage difference between both in city as well as highway. Is it a good decision to go for IMT than 1.2 petrol MT just for power difference. How is the life of IMT and problem occurring frequency. Is it easy to adapt for new driver with IMT. At what RPM turbo of 1.0Turbo petrol IMT come into action.

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@harshchagar I would take the Sonet 1.2 manual. I was driving the Camry Hybrid and I still had to put a lot of effort to chase a girl driving the Sonet 1.2 manual. Stopped her, exchanged numbers. Will try to connect with her for an ownership experience video for you all 😃

How much maintenance do need in IMT

[@RealAutoReviews]

No difference as compared to the maintenance of a manual transmission. Until of course you treat it like an Automatic, in which case you may burn your clutch a lot sooner than you would in a manual transmission.

[@KarmanyaSharma-b4e]

Hi, Very informative video. However I own Hyunday venue sx imt and today I was stranded in middle of the road as mygear got stuck in Neutral and was not able shift gear. I had ti push the car to safe side.

That's sad.

[@mangaldasan]

Hi Thanks for your explanation about iMT. I have KIA Seltos HTK+ iMT.Almost a year old. So far so good. Ran around 13000+Km. Today, I was driving bumper to bumper heavy traffic in Bangalore, suddenly display the warning says that Transmission unit get heated up, so safe to stop the vehicle. Very first time I am getting that warning.Then after few distance drove and stopped the car aside and off the engine for 10 minutes. Immediately called the KIA service centre over phone and asked about this warning. They said, nothing to worry. Don't keep engage in gear while stopping in the traffic. Bring it neutral and apply break. But this explanation, I am not convinced. Do I do some mistake of wrong driving or isiMT has some issues developing after some usage. I am worried. Please advise, how to handle iMT.Thanks

[@RaBho]

Sir did you get any explanation for this, please share, I'm planning to buy imt htx plus

[@poopathiks]

Hi I also had the same issue few days back. Can anyone explain the reason and remedy?

[@amitgulhane-nd5rr]

@@poopathiks i think its because of continuously applying break in bumper traffic , when we need to stop move to neutral and when we are moving then make it in first grear

[@schnellster1]

@@amitgulhane-nd5rr but this is not possible in bumper to bumper traffic. This is where the issue is

[@compass2530]

I had similar experience in off roading at steep hilly area after driving for ~45 mins, hard acceleration and frequent gear shifts 1&2. Nothing to worry, this happens when you shift gears too often b/w 1 &2 for long time. Transmission gets heated and shows warning. Just try to avoid changing gears frequently in these scenarios, either keep driving at 1 or 2 gear only. If warning comes, park at side , keep engine turned on wait for 10-15 mins. It will be normal again

[@rgupta6052]

Gear change krne k baad bhi gear lever hold kar k rakh sakte hain diruing driving?..

[@siddheshtulaskar7132]

What is the difference between AMT and Torque Converter????

[@RealAutoReviews]

Night and day difference. The AMT is basically an IMT with a few more sensors and an additional actuator for changing gears 😃 I guess I should make a video on this topic too 😃

[@shubhamagarwal3188]

Is there a certain RPM level when I should change gears? I do release accelerator before changing gears but the shift is not as smooth and required a little effort sometimes. I have just purchased a new Sonet, so kindly help!

[@RealAutoReviews]

Which city are you in and what's the odo reading of your vehicle at present?

[@shubhamagarwal3188]

I am in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. It is a brand new car, so about 100kms

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@shubhamagarwal3188 okay, the reason I asked: had you been in the NCR, I would have helped you in person. But no worries, let me see how I can still make your life easy with your new purchase. The short answer is, no, the smoothness of the gearshifts has nothing to do with rpm. For example, even at standstill, with your foot on the brake and off the accelerator, you can engage ALL gears and the lever smoothness would not change a bit. Does that answer your question? Or did you mean something else when you said "the shift isn't smooth?" 😃

[@shubhamagarwal3188]

@@RealAutoReviews That is very kind of you. Thank you. However yes I meant that the lever shift is not very smooth when I am downshifting or upshifting based on my speed. With manual transmissions it used to be smooth because you just press clutch and then change gears but here i do not know when the clutch gets pressed so while shifting gears it is not always smooth. I just want to be sure its not me making a mistake somewhere.

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@shubhamagarwal3188 you are in good stead if you've driven proper manuals! So don't worry, you aren't doing anything wrong; just drive it like regular manual. Please come back here after you complete around 500 km, and let me know if the shift lever action has smoothened a bit or not 😃

Planning to buy seltos turbo as am a driving enthusiast want performance,bt living in delhi its my secondary car for my family purpose nd for office purpose i use hatcback .... I wnt to retain seltos for 12-13 years ,so Which transmission i prefer perfer dct or imt ,my preference is dct ,is it reliable for 13 years.. nd wat is d cost of dct if it fails..plz rply

[@RealAutoReviews]

I can't recommend the DCT/DSG in India. The IMT is also not the best transmission . Manual, TC, and CVT are.

[@imprakrut]

Can we downshift while pressing the brakes? Eg: Can we downshift from 3 to 2, while we are slowing down the car by applying brakes? Basically, is it okay to downshift when brakes are pressed??

[@RealAutoReviews]

Of course! In fact, THAT is how ideally you should be downshifting 😃

[@imprakrut]

@@RealAutoReviews Yes But in the booklet of the car there is a caution that says - not to press brake pedal by mistake during gearshift. I think they probably mean to say that - dont use the brake like clutch by completely pressing it suddenly

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@imprakrut No no, that's not what it means. People coming from manual transmissions initially tend to press the brake pedal from the LEFT foot while shifting from 1st to 2nd. Muscle memory! That's why the manual says to NOT press the brake pedal while shifting gears. It's primarily for upshifts. Hope this helps 😃
