The different types of automatic gearbox of a Toyota Aygo 2

.
Gearboxes have the advantage of being known to be solid, as you don’t need to use your clutch pedal and everything is electronically and mechanically controlled there will be no early wear of your clutch or other components that could be put to the test by misuse on your part.
Nevertheless, depending on the kind of automatic transmission your Toyota Aygo 2 is equipped with you will have more or less reliability, we will present them to you now:

  • Classic automatic gearbox: It will use a torque converter, which will manage the gear changes, it’s the oldest technology, it has evolved a lot in the last decades (more gears and a better management of the gear changes).
  • Robotized automatic gearbox: This is a manual gearbox with a robotized mechanism that will change the driver’s action. This kind of gearbox is less and less basic because they are considered very slow. We also often feel a coupling during deceleration.
  • Dual-clutch automatic transmission: This is the ultimate automatic transmission, it works on the same principle as the robotic transmission, but thanks to its dual clutch, you won’t have any more complications with slow speeds or elevated fuel consumption. They are often equipped on luxury models.
  • Continuously variable automatic box: It is the same principle as on a scooter, a variator will come to control the differences between acceleration and motor speed, they are really slow and often be unresponsive during the acceleration phases of your Toyota Aygo 2.

  • If you feel drops coming from the automatic gearbox of your Toyota Aygo 2: If you feel a clutch when you go up or when you slow down, it is either your oil which is too old and which does not lubricate any more adequately all the mechanisms of your gearbox, or else a sensor which gives bad info
