A word or two about the driveability of the IMT in bumper to bumper traffic was missed. Is the clutch release on the IMT just as smooth as a manual? How does the IMT handle slow launch on incline? Also, a word of caution, clutch plates on dry DCTs are often considered as 'consumables' and may need a replacement earlier than a clutch in manual. You guys should have addressed these things

The final verdict is IMTs are more reliable than DCTs. The minimum cost to replace a dct gearbox is around a lac or more. The internal clutch plates of a dct are equally costly. So either go for a traditional automatic transmission or a torque converter if you want that one hand free or go for IMT

An IMT is going to mess up your muscle memory .Going back to the usual manual after habituating IMT you will grinde those gears for sure . Adding paddle shifters to the DCT is a far better option than an IMT for those immediate downshifts.

Manual is pretty much the best option in terms of reliability. Next up would be the iMT. The DCT *WILL* fail. It may not happen today or tommorow but it will happen eventually. Especially in India where you have to creep in bumper to bumper traffic on a super hot day. And there really is not that much advantage for the DCT in this segment. Sure it shifts quick..so what? It's a small cSUV not a racecar. Moreover it's jerky in traffic and will cost a bomb to repair when it fails. If VW cannot completely make the DSG reliable even after a decade, I don't expect Hyundai to do it in a few years.

Hi team, late to the party, but loved the video. I have narrowed down to IMT and DCT and the venue and Sonet. My query is around 1- whether the DCT will be reliable in bumper to bumper traffic like blore where you have to take every opportunity to advance (I get that if I give space it will be fine, but if I need to reach office within 2 hours I need to creep as much as possible). In such conditions will the DCT be fine or will it wear out quickly. 2 - how jerky is the imt compared to a manual if you learn to use it well and what are its weak points (I have noted people saying issues in 1st and 2nd gear). Anyone with long term ownership (more than a year) of either car in Bangalore pitching in would be really helpful.

In practice, I feel the DCT may edge out or at the very least draw level with the iMT That being said, I never found the clutch cumbersome, and I'd rather have that or the DCT any day... Basically full manuals are the best on the highway and DCTs are best for the city...

@asifzbaig3 жыл бұрын
I believe it should engage either when you put off foot from accelerator and try to push gear lever, if I am not wrong, now gear lever will have two-staged shift while shifting, so at about 1-2 inches it will engage the clutch and at next 1-2 it will shift the gear and once you are getting back the lever to middle it will release the clutch
