What is Transmission?
The transmission system is one of a vehicle's most basic and important parts. You can define it like this, it transfers power from the engine to the wheels. Transmission simply refers to the gearbox, which uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque.
Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT):
Simply and quite accurately put, the iMT is a clutchless manual transmission. It is similar to a manual gearbox, with gears and a gear lever. The driver almost feels like an automatic car as the iMT doesn’t have a clutch pedal but a brake and an accelerator pedal.
The iMT transmission system cannot automatically shift gears. On the other hand, with an IMT car compared to a manual transmission car, fuel efficiency and mileage are subjective and dependent on the driver's driving style.
Dual-clutch Transmission (DVT):
This transmission employs two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets, allowing for especially quick shifts. The design is often similar to two manual transmissions in that their respective clutches are within a housing and operate as a single unit.
The DCT operates like an automatic transmission, requiring no driver input to change gears. This transmission type can generally be automatically operated or moved manually with the pedals on the steering wheel.
Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT):
These are pulley-based transmissions primarily used in small vehicles with smaller engines, and they can change gears seamlessly through a constant gear ratio. This is in opposition to other transmissions that offer a limited number of gear ratios in fixed stages.
The IVT uses two pulleys between which a steel belt runs. To continuously change its gear ratio, the IVT simultaneously adjusts the diameter of the “drive pulley,” which transmits torque from the engine, and the “drive pulley,” which transfers torque to the wheels.

I have an 21 Kia forte LXS with an iVT. You honestly would never know that it didn't have have gears. Every "gear" shift feels great and authentic all the way up to 8th. Manual sport mode is made even more satisfying by the computer keeping the car at a higher RPM resulting in a touchier more powerful experience and it even makes the steering wheel slightly stiffer. It feels so much like a sports car that you almost forget you're in a four banger lol.

Please create a video comparing CVT vs IVT. Thanks

[@StefanBacon]

Author IS describing a CVT, and does not know what IVT means. IVTs (I is for infinitely) are usually hydrostatic, but can also use a friction wheel to adjust the ratio all the way to gear 0, and smoothly into reverse with no slipping. A hydrostatic IVT is used when precise, slow movement and long-term durability are more important than top speed and energy cost. IVTs usually take a minimum amount of force to turn even when the vehicle is not accelerating, this is a parasitic energy loss from internal friction, but this can be overcome by a gain in efficiency from reducing engine RPM to only what is needed, and reduced maintenance costs as all friction surfaces can be well lubricated.

[@miketurner4462]

The 2001 Mercedes A190 had the IMT gearbox, but it was much more like a manual than this new system, to shift gears you had to take your foot off the accelerator pedal, then shift, otherwise it would over rev, just like if you changed gears in a manual without removing your foot from the accelerator pedal.

[@Kb-ng5cr]

Is that the case with a dct lol I drive my veloster in a way like that n one friend Ik says my car shouldn’t do that but it like jerks up when I shift down and press on the gas n by jerk I mean it just gain speed he ain’t used to it

[@phoenixarian8513]

Wrong abbreviation dude. The ones you mentioned are actually clutchless manual (iMT in your description), and CVT (IVT in your description). There are actually 2 categories of transmission which are manual (including clutchless manual), and automatic. The latter consists of AMT (AI controller manual), AT (planetary), DCT (dual clutch) and CVT (pullies).

[@yashpandey3.3.3]

I think AMT with a clutch padel is a good idea. So one can enjoy full auto ,semi auto sequential and fully manual sequential transmission when needed!

[@TheEngineersPost]

Great point!

[@clxx1302]

The problem is it is very complicated to make and produce. Plus it just beat the purpose of having automatic because they don't want to step on the clutch all day and worry about gears. If you want a clutch pedal, it's not the end of the world just buy a manual car and you still have the options to buy automatic.

MAnual is still the best. Can last millions of miles, 35% more efficient than auto, cheap to maintain and driver have full control over manual. Do not buy automatic unless u are handicapped individual. I have both auto and manual of the same car model and i drive 12hours per day 24/7. The worst is cvt only lasted 60,000 km to 100,000km and belt will fail and cannot be fixed. Whole box need to be replaced.

Even though the ivt does simulate gear shifts pretty well, it can't beat the feeling of a traditional automatic with ACTUAL gear shifts. Not to mention a manual transmission is way better as well. DCT are just on a whole other level 😅. Those DCTs are quick!

IMT but without button to press before changing gear. Moreover there's company that can make a manual transmission to either IMT or AT, with a switch of a button(they add robot/AI that press the clutch). It even allows you to custom AT, automatic gear change on your preferred rpm. If the IMT have button(have to press before change gear) then I prefer DCT.

[@pstrokeslibsarctic]

[@keerthivasanm1916]

The imt is a better choice for those who prefer changing gears manually by their hands., while the comparison can be between Dct n ivt I.e the Dual clutch transmission Dct and the IVT intelligent variable transmission., the IVT will be of a quicker than that of Dct ., the ivt responds with more presence and spontaneous to that of the drivers attitude towards applying the throttle as per the gear change I hope so

CVT. IVT is something different, Infinitely variable, and no cars are aold with it. They are used in agriculture, construction and material handling for vehicles that need fine, very low speed drive control. Automotive CVTs have a ratio floor, where a torque converter churns to let you slow down further with the brakes instead of having transmission authority at low speeds.

[@khaelthegreat9321]

Well, in my own understanding, I could say that all vehicles/cars/SUVs, particular to Hyundai Venue, with "iMT" are just like Honda Wave, Honda XRM, Kawasaki Fury or Suzuki Smash motorcycles because those motorcycles can be driven/ridden without using clutch / clutch lever..

[@Dominik189]

@@meek146 using the clutch one can if the clutch is still functional decouple the engine from the transmission, essentially cutting the power to the wheels and with controlled breaking bring the car to an effective and safe stop. If the car loses traction due to oversteer one can perform a clutch kick to attempt to regain traction, coupled with counter steering you can save a car from a skid if caught early enough, if you understeer into a corner to the point where it's dangerous you can also bring the car back to control through a light break tap combined with a clutch kick to assure exit out of a corner. If you're in a RWD and for some reason, let's say your left or right hand is injured and you can't properly pass the wheel between hands to steer, minimal steering input with a clutch kick and quick counter steer can get you through just about any corner. If your gearbox locks up and is stuck into a gear, clutching in basically unloads the gearbox allowing you a chance to bring it out your self or at least hold the clutch and break down to safely stop the car. If your gas gets stuck you can use the clutch to regulate speed.
