A '''Multimode Manual Transmission''' ('''MMT''' or '''M/M''', also ''' Multimode Transmission''')<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota.co.uk/bv/About_Toyota/glossary/MMT.html |title=MMT - MultiMode manual transmission |___location=UK |publisher=Toyota |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120413143105/http://www.toyota.co.uk/bv/About_Toyota/glossary/MMT.html |archive-date=2012-04-13}}</ref> is a type of [[semi-automaticelectrohydraulic manual transmission| automated manual transmission]] offered by [[Toyota]]. It uses a traditional manual [[gearbox]] with an electronically -controlled [[clutch]]. Multimode Manual Transmission is available in the [[Aygo]], [[Toyota Yaris|Yaris]], [[Toyota Corolla|Corolla]], [[Toyota Corolla Verso|Corolla Verso]], [[Toyota Mark X|Mark X]] and [[Toyota Auris|Auris]] in [[Europe]], and should not be confused with Multimode Automatic Transmission, which is offered in the North American market by Toyota.

== 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 fullfully 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 [[torque converter]] (as in a traditional automatic), gear changes are noticeable. The [[accelerator (car)|accelerator]] should be eased off, slightly, when gear changes occur. This facilitates a smooth transition, between gears, and allows for smooth acceleration.
