[@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]

[@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.

Correct. Very informative video. Same thing I am experienced with my Kia carens prestige iMT. Giving slight acceleration after releasing brakes makes vehicle gear transmission more smoother. I also got a good average of 17-20 with the help of this technique.

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@sushantzope84 awesome!

[@ritikamathur4384]

I have recently purchased gravity imt yesterday my vehicle bumped onto pillar on slope when i was going down reason: i had to take reverse to take left but when i put reverse gear and pressed acceleration on slope it didnt even took acceleration amd vehicle touched pillar Can you please tell me y it happened even when i have hill hold and hill assist? same is the case in first gear, vehicle pn pressing accelerator is not moving which causing pain in bumper traffic when we have some hill or bump but mainly yesterday i suffered this reverse thing and bumped into pillaar my 3 days old carens

[@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.

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

[@RealAutoReviews]

What would you do in a fully manual car? 😃

[@ejajahmed5796]

Lesson I learnt - shd not drive with partial braking which we generally do at 1st & 2nd gears. Dct is costly and iMT has solved most of the problems in heavy traffic or overtaking in highways

[@riteshsingh7874]

Very informative!! Basically we should avoid moving imt car on first gear without pressing accelerator. Right ?

You NEVER put the car in neutral during braking! Just apply the brakes, let it come down to a complete halt, then thank God that you are alive, and then carry on. Hope this helps 😊

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

@@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! 😃

[@jacobipe8736]

When stopped at a slope and there is risk of car moving backwards if brake is not pressed, that time should we keep the gear in neutral and keep brake pressed or 1st gear and brake pressed?

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

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

[@RealAutoReviews]

Thanks, Mehul. See, if you can get Carens manual, that would be the best choice. However, if you really want to get rid of the clutch pedal, then iMT is the closest that you can get to a manual in terms of everything, including the cost of maintenance. Would it be as trouble-free and reliable in the long run as a manual? Let's say for a moment that it might not be. But you are eventually getting a transmission that allows you to rest your left leg for years. So I won't consider it a bad deal. Hope this helps! 😃

[@RealAutoReviews]

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

@@desidoctorr I would recommend that you get a proper.manual 😃

[@The1478963210]

Hi. Very informative video, thanks. I've driven both manual and automatic transmission for years. On one hand I would love the convenience of an automatic by putting less strain on my knee. On the other hand, get the feeling of shifting gears. But looking at your video I'm getting the feeling this iMT thing might be a hassle. Also after reading the comments, some people are facing some real issues. This is a really great tech, kinda best of both worlds. So should I wait for it to improve and buy a new car new year?

[@RealAutoReviews]

The tech isn't flawed. The usage is. Just don't treat it like a conventional automatic, and you'll be sorted. 😃

[@mayank3611]

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?

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

I have a question. What happens when you are on Reverse gear or on 1st gear and you switch off the engine by mistake. The gear will go on a lock but how would you start the engine, Since its not on a gear.

[@andy5511]

One question, i have a habit to keep my hand on the gear knob while driving. Now with that sensor being there, will it detect my hand as an intent to change gear and will engage the clutch??

[@RealAutoReviews]

No. However, you shouldn't be keeping your hand on the lever for another reason which I have explained several times to people here in the comments section. Check it out 😊

[@rajaji9366]

Which one you prefer DCT aur IMT which need more maintenance

[@RealAutoReviews]

The DCT would be the most expensive to maintain in the long term.

[@rameshlal7424]

Informative video. What abt the clutch life of IMT version over MT?

[@RealAutoReviews]

In ideal circumstances, it should last as long as the clutch of a regular manual. However, since we can't have the ideal circumstances, expect a bit less life than its fully manual counterpart 😃

[@rameshlal7424]

@@RealAutoReviews So with that being said, I hope maintenance is little higher than manual due to intension sensor, TCU & Actuator. Right?

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@rameshlal7424 well, no, because you don't have to spend money to "maintain" these parts. However, if, say, in the rare event of any of these parts failing, you would not only be stranded, but would also have to bear the cost of new parts. Whereas a fully manual gearbox has never failed on me in my over two and a half decades of driving. But I also haven't heard of anyone being stranded because his automatic's TCU/actuator/sensor conked off. So you don't have to be worried about it. But, since your question is whether a conventional manual is better economically and also more reliable than these new fads, the answer is an absolute YES! Hope this helps! 😃

Its superb smooth you would adjust the throttle and gear selection in one or two corners only. Just keep the gear down wen going uphill and while doing downhill you just need to engage on 2bd or 3rd gear majorly with leeser throttle.
