[@pallavaseri6005]

During a high speed if you want to apply break in IMT, can we change the gear to neutral and then apply break ? Is this a better approach or directly apply the break without think of ur current gear

[@RealAutoReviews]

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 😊

[@rahilanwar2632]

Which will have longer life DCT or IMT? And which will hive better mileage, driving mostly in city traffic?

[@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.

See, it's pretty simple really if we understand how a clutch works. Engagement is gradual in first gear, and I don't know why people forget that. That's why I made this video 😃 Hope it helps!

Please answer my two questions: 1.As we release the brakes, the vehicle starts to disengage the clutch but it's done fully only when the accelerator is pressed, so we shall always ensure to press the accelerator after releasing the brakes for an efficient functioning?? 2. I have heard that petrol imt models give a poor mileage when compared with a petrol manual option. Is it true? What's the approximate mileage we will get in a sonet petrol imt model?

Sir i have seen your video related to imt transmission. This week i am planning to buy seltos htk+ imt. Is there any problem in this variant? Actually everything depends on driving technique.

[@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. 😃

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! 😃

nice explanation, I want to know can we shift from 3/4/5/6th gear to 1st directly like sports bike(Slipper Clutch Technology). I mean at 50kmph. I am asking because iMT uses rev matching during downshift.

[@RealAutoReviews]

Oh no, you should NOT brother. Motorcycles use sequential transmission: you can't shift to first directly from 6th! You will have to go 5-4-3-2 on a bike! In a manual or IMT, you can directly to 1st but you should NEVER do that, or else you will cause a lot of damage to your transmission and engine. In fact, even on a bike you won't go down from 6th to 1st, but even if you do, it will be in a scenario where you are braking hard already, and then the slipper mechanism takes care of the remaining difference. Otherwise, you WILL damage your GB and engine in a bike as well. You will crash too. Even in a race, you will mostly come down to 2nd and not 1st from sixth! Hope this helps 😃

@@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.

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?

I just want to be sure its not me making a mistake somewhere.

@@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 😃

How to park an imt car in slope? Is it possible to use gear or we have to use neutral only?

[@RealAutoReviews]

Of course you can put it in gear. And handbrake 😃

[@sandeepshanbhogue7690]

Hi, In terms of reliability and shifting gears, what is difference between Manual mode in AMT and IMT?

[@RealAutoReviews]

The manual mode of AMT just holds on to each gear a little longer, that's it. It will upshift automatically near the redline if you fail to do so. The iMT won't. You WILL have to shift gears yourself in an IMT. Hope this answers your question 😃

[@sandeepshanbhogue7690]

@@RealAutoReviews Thank you. Since I use AMT manual mode a lot, if the RPM is above 2000 then shifting is possible. If I use pedal brakes when coming to stop, it downshifts easilt. Only time I downshift is when I do inclined driving else car will jerk completely.

[@mehul.c18]

Loved the explanation! I am planning to get Kia Carens Prestige Plus iMT Petrol. How is the response there? Also how reliable is iMT. Like If I drive properly will the clutch last for 10-12 years? I am shifting from WagonR (Obviously Manual)

[@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! 😃

[@mehul.c18]

@@RealAutoReviews Thanks for the response! The major reason why I am choosing Carens is because of iMT. Or else I was also looking at Scorpio N z4 but that has only manual in my budget of 17L. What would you suggest? Should I not go for iMT and choose manual only? I am just worried about clutch getting hard over a few years and then the high cost of replacing the whole assembly. Just got it done for WagonR a year back🥲 It will be really helpful if you could help me with it. I am really confused

[@RealAutoReviews]

@@mehul.c18 Sure. What was the odo reading of your Wagon R when the clutch have away?.

[@mehul.c18]

@@RealAutoReviews 50k 2010 model

@@mehul.c18 well, I shall stick my neck out and say that it surely won't need a replacement before 50k if you follow the points I mentioned in the video 😃

Bhai, agar mai 4th gear pe hu and I have to shift down. What's the recommended process 4th to 3rd then 2nd then 1st gear. Or from 4th we can directly come to 2nd or 1st?

[@RealAutoReviews]

Not a sequential gearbox. Therefore, depending upon the situation, you may come down to any gear you want, not just from 4th, but even from 5th and 6th 😃

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 😊

[@alexfrancis796]

Very nice explanation about IMT.

Thank you so much 😃❤️

Sir can we use 1st gear for long time in heavy traffic please explain

Milage reduce or increase in imt

[@tanusisodia217]

nicely explained. but, even manually, many don't disengage fully when crawling in heavy traffic ... right ?

[@RealAutoReviews]

True that, and it's a wrong habit. 😃

Bro whts the reliability of imt? Like its realiable enough?

Definitely more reliable than a DCT In Indian conditions 😃

In traffic jam situation in big cities, we have to creep many times. Is imt transmission is good in such situations.

[@RealAutoReviews]

[@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.
