Toyota Multi-Mode Transmission (MMT) Clutch Actuator + Gear Actuator Repairs
Multi-mode transmission, or MMT for short, is a type of sequential manual gearbox. Offered by Toyota and is commonly known to be fitted to the Aygo, Auris, Yaris and Corolla Verso models. The MMT comes with a conventional friction clutch and a mechanical gear selector mechanism which is controlled electronically. Instead of the conventional automatic transmission, which uses hydraulics and a torque converter. As many Toyota owners will be aware, this particular design has had many complaints and common failures with the clutch and gear actuator units.
Common MMT Clutch Actuator + Gear Actuator Repairs
Some of the most common problems associated with the MMT Gearbox Clutch + Gear Actuators are:
- Slipping out of gear
- Getting Stuck in Neutral
- Gearbox Light On Dash
- Complete Failure
If you find that the clutch or gearbox actuator has failed. Many customers who have asked around regarding this issue will know that going to the main dealer will cost in excess of £700 + VAT and labour. Programming and the new replacement will only come with the standard 12-month warranty. If you opt for a second-hand part, it may work out slightly cheaper. But then it will also require coding/programming which requires dealer-level equipment and this will come at an additional cost with a limited 30 -90 day warranty. Keeping in mind the current issues that occur with these actuators. This could also work out to be more expensive due to the risk of it failing again.

Hi Jason
My dealer told me I needed a new actuator assembly for my ’04 Verso but wouldn’t guarantee that would solve the problem. I authorised an hour’s work which showed the clutch plate was worn to the point that the actuator wasn’t working correctly. The actuator assembly, they said was, in fact, okay. Once the clutch plate and flywheel has been replaced it may be that the problems aren’t solved and I’d like to know if you’d rebuild the actuator assembly and at what cost.
Thanks in advance.

Hello..my toyota corolla verso 05 keeps going in to neutral while driving and a circle red light with a straight line inside the circle comes up. I took it for diagnostic and they said no issue. Help please if this sounds familiar. I always have to switch of the engine when it happens and wait til the red light goes off.
Hi,
I have a Toyota Auris 1.6 VVT-i T3 Multimode 3dr (07 – 10) that is experiencing the slipping into neutral in stop-start traffic. It’s started to get worse over the last few months and I would like to know how much it would cost to get repaired. I’m not in the london area so would assume I can get a local mechanic to remove the part – send it to you and send it back.
Please can you advise – happy to recieve a quote via email
