While automatic transmissions seem to be the norm these days, Toyota bucks the trend by filing a patent for a different kind of manual gearbox. With this patent, it appears that the Japanese automaker is developing the second-generation intelligent manual transmission or iMT.

• 2019 Toyota Corolla Manual Transmission
• Toyota Imt Transmission

The current iMT performs rev matching when downshifting and also has an anti-stall function in first gear. In this patent, Toyota added more features and electronic control devices to the manual transmission. These include a shift lockout and automatic coasting.

In the patent, the said lockout prevents the driver from downshifting from high revs and thus, prevents damaging the transmission or the engine. The patent also stated that there is also a lockout for upshifting to prevent 'lugging' or under revving the engine at near-idle revs. This system is said to work via electronically controlled locking pins which then move to be clear the next gear.

Automatic coasting meanwhile disengages the clutch, practically putting it in neutral, to save fuel. The system activates when sensors detect that coasting is possible. While the patent did not go into detail as to how it works, it is likely that it will drop into neutral when the accelerator is released at cruising speeds, all while the transmission is slotted into a gear. It is also possible that there will be sensors to retain engine dragging (better known as engine braking) when taking on steeper downhill roads.

No need to hunt down a separate Toyota repair manual or Toyota service manual. From warranties on Toyota replacement parts to details on features, Toyota Owners manuals help you find everything you need to know about your vehicle, all in one place. Detailed Toyota manuals and Toyota warranty information help with questions about your vehicle. What fluid to used in your manual transmission Oil Chart Manual Transmission. Wondering what fluid to used in your manual transmission? Below find the answer to what fluid do I need. It is important to use the correct fluid oil in you manual transmission, the vehicle manufacturers have done extensive testing to specify the correct fluid. I test drove a 2010 Camry Base Model with a 6 speed manual transmission. When stepping off the gas pedal and depressing ths clutch, the motor does not decelerate. The service technician says that this is by Toyota design to allow for the 6 speed transmission and the gear change ratios.

The patent did not state if the current functions of iMT will be retained for this different type of manual transmission.

This element of Toyota 6 Speed Intelligent Manual Transmission (Imt) instructs car owner about making use of the interior characteristics appropriately. It clarifies ways to run the environment conditioner, making use of the sound system, list of further interior characteristics.
