Contents. Operation The Multimode Manual Transmission has the following gears: R, N, E, M+, M. R: R is the reverse gear. It is similar to R in both traditional manual and in full automatic cars. N: N is the neutral gear. It is similar to N in both traditional manual and full automatic. E: E is the functional equivalent of D in a full automatic.

As the gearbox in a MMT car is a manual gearbox, instead of one with a as in a traditional automatic, gear changes are noticeable. The should be eased off slightly when gear changes to produce a smooth ride. M+: Up-shifts a gear in sequential fashion, from M1 to M5 (M6 in 6-speed MMT cars). M-: Downshifts a gear in sequential fashion, from M5 (M6 in 6-speed MMT cars) to M1. Differences from an automatic car A Multimode manual car has a instead of a torque converter.

As such, gear changes are noticeable, and the car rolls backwards when on an up-sloping incline. Creeping: A Multimode Manual Car creeps forward when the is released and accelerator is not depressed, like an automatic car. This is achieved via partially engaging and slipping the clutch.

Moving off from an incline: A MMT car rolls backwards when on an up-sloping incline, unlike an automatic car. To move off from an up-sloping incline, apply handbrake before depressing the accelerator slightly. Do not hold the car on an incline by depressing the accelerator pedal, as the slipping clutch will overheat and lead to clutch damage.

Parking: Unlike an automatic car, the P gear is absent in a MMT car. The car should be parked in the following fashion. In an up-sloping incline, put the gear to M1, or E, apply handbrake, and switch off the engine. In a down-sloping incline, put the gear to R, apply handbrake, and switch off the engine. On level ground, put the gear to R, apply handbrake, and switch off the engine. R or E/M1 substitute the P function in a full automatic.

Moving off from Park: The engine can only be started with the gear in N. To start, switch on the car to ON position (this releases the gear lock), depress brake pedal, put the gear to N (from either R or E/M1), and switch on the engine. L/1 and 2 gears in a full automatic: The MMT does not provide L/1 and 2 gears as in a full automatic. One action of the MMT system is that it detects the gradient of the slope that the car is situated in.

On a down-sloping incline and if the brake pedal is depressed, it automatically selects a lower gear to produce engine brake, which has the equivalent effect of L and 2 gears in a full automatic. L and 2 can also be substituted with E1 and E2 (not available in ) or M1 and M2 gears in a MMT car. To select E1 or E2, put the gear to E, and use + and - pedal flaps on the steering wheel to override the computer selection.

E will change to E1/E2/E3/E4/E5/E6, depending on the gear selected. Downshift to E1 or E2 as appropriate to simulate L and 2 gears in a full automatic. To select M1 or M2, put the gear to M, and use M- gear to downshift the gear to M1 or M2. Kick-down: In E mode, the in a full automatic can be similarly activated in an MMT car. Additionally, the kick-down function can be manually activated using the - pedal flap on the in E mode. This overrides the computer setting and E changes to E1/E2/E3/E4/E5/E6. To stop the under E mode, pull and hold the + flap on the steering wheel, until the E1/E2/E3/E4/E5/E6 changes back to E.

Alternatively, wait for the next computer activated gear change. Reverse: The car reverses as in an automatic car.

To reverse, depress brake pedal, and change the gear to R. Gradually lift off the brake pedal to allow the car to creep backwards.

On a down-sloping incline, the creep function, simulated using the slipping clutch, is not sufficient to prevent the car from rolling forward. In this case, the car must not be held still using the accelerator pedal, as the excessive clutch slipping will lead to clutch damage.

Handbrake should be instead applied, and the accelerator pedal should be depress slightly. Gear change: The gear change in MMT is noticeable, unlike in a full automatic car. Under E gear, the car will automatically change the gear depending on speed and information. It is recommended that the accelerator pedal should be momentarily lifted off during gear change. A constant throttle can also be maintained on the accelerator, and gear change can still occur, although the car will feel noticeably more jerky during gear change than in a full automatic. Operation under E mode The E mode functions as the D gear in a full automatic car. Via the onboard computer and electronic clutch, the car automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and gradient information.

An MMT car limits the highest gear selectable, if the gradient is steep. L and 2 gear in a full automatic: The L and 2 gear in automatic can be simulated in an MMT car by either using E1/E2 or M1/M2. Es mode: Es mode allows more dynamic and sporty driving with faster gear changes, at the expense of greater. Es mode is available in the and (in Europe).

Es mode is similar to the S mode in. Operation under M mode Under M mode, sequential gear shifts can be made by changing the gear to M+ and M. Under M mode, the gear selected will be displayed as one of M1/M2/M3/M4/M5/M6 on the. Under M mode, the gear will not change even if the engine RPM reaches redline, which will probably lead to engine damage. However, the user is prevented from excessively downshifting to a gear that exceeds the maximum revolution possible for the engine, or excessively up-shifting to a gear that may lead the engine to stall. When the car is braked to a complete stop, the M1 gear is automatically selected. Competitors Operationally similar systems are the offered by, offered by, offered by, Auto Gear Shift offered by, ESCOT by, and by Renault Group's.

Other technologies that produce automatic transmissions are the conventional. For example, is implemented as the MultiDrive S in. See also.

Just wondering is there any thing special I would need to do, to do an auto to manual swap in my '06? I'm not looking to do this right now. But possibly in a few years from now when I move and have a longer highway commute.

I would like to get the best possible gas mpg, and also add the 'fun factor' when my wife has her own car and we don't have to share. Right now I have an '06 S with auto trans. I know I will need: Donor Trans New Clutch kit New Flywheel Donor pedal assembly Donor or new shifter Will I need a New Starter??? Donor Harness??? What type of clutch do these cars use?

If so I will need a master & slave cylinder?? Is the center console the same or will I need to swap that also? IS there anything else that has to be done on the engine side? How about mounts? Are they different?

Anything for the speedo or other sensors I will need?? Am I missing anything else? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance Doing this kind of swap depends on whether you want it done to the point of it being complete as if it had really been originally built as a manual, or if you want to just do it to the point of being functional. I went the route of functionality because I had limited funds and time; also, where i live there is no emissions testing (yet).no new starter should be needed.a new ECU will be depended on the route you wish to take.I got away without using a new ECU and engine harness for a manual (still have the automatic one in there), that's part of the route of just functionality. Going that route though will cause the MIL to be constantly illuminated and you'll have about 5 different codes, mostly related to the transmission (ECU thinks there's a problem with the trans because the engine harness connectors for the transmission aren't connected to anything).
