Transmission Question - Toyota Yaris Forums

Our Auto is purely mechanical linkage for human shifting. I have the EWD from Europe for the Multi-Mode Transmission, described above. It actually has two actuator motors that are triggered by the +/- bumps.

So what you are saying it is not a CVT? It is just our auto trans with a slightly diff shifter sitting on top? Doesn't that mean it would be a fairly simple swap to get the new shifter gate and actuators? What does EWD stand for?

sorry for all the questions, I am really interested in this mod as you can tell by my post. The main reason I am interested is because it is the one feature that almost made me buy a (gasp) fit instead of a Yaris. I don't know if anyone has driven an auto fit, but for me the acceleration seemed almost twice as fast in paddle shift mode rather than regular drive mode.

Also, next up: Automatic Climate control!
