Ever wondered what AMT, iMT, CVT, torque converters, or DCT mean? Here’s a quick guide to understanding these gearbox types.

• AMT: An Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) uses a hydraulic actuator and electronic control unit to handle clutch engagement. It’s a manual without a physical clutch lever and offers a manual mode for gear shifts.
• iMT: Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) resembles AMT but retains the traditional H-pattern gearshift. It requires manual gear shifts without using a clutch lever, thanks to an intention sensor on the gear lever.
• CVT: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) uses cone-shaped pulleys and a belt for infinite gear ratios, common in scooters and some cars like Honda and Kia.
Automatic transmissions offer various advantages, enhancing driving ease and performance. Whether you prioritize ease of use, manual control, or seamless shifting, there’s an option for every driver. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision for your next vehicle.
