Sorry folks, yeah it has the auto bit (Where I can put in R, E or N) then you can slide the gear stick to the right and there is a plus and minus sign to change gear yourself.

The exact model is a T-Spirit and yes it is MMT (always wondered what that stood for!)

Thanks for all that info, so it could be a number of things, great haha bloody cars!

I never really looked into how exactly the MMT worked before. It takes a nice simple manual transmission (the C51 that is is based on) and makes it about as complicated as can be.

There are actually many of us with them here, but we are definitely a minority. This morning at Starbucks I was parked between a Hummer H1 and 3 mile long Ford Expedition.

ahh.. MMT transmission.. i drove one of these on a Sart ForTwo. I hated the "auto" mode, as it's really jerky and shifts at the weirdest moment. But you are right about the delay.. even though i never drove a toyota one, to get started from a stand still, it's quite jerky and takes some time before get car gets moving.

Yours may or may not have a problem, but after i got used to the smart, it's quite a blast to drive the MMT.
