Toyota Auris
Toyota Auris Semi-Automatic Problems? We’re the UK’s #1 Experts in Fixing Them.
️ Common Toyota Auris MMT Gearbox Faults
- P0900 fault code won’t clear
- Gearbox won’t calibrate
- Car stuck in gear or won’t engage
- Replaced actuator but issue remains
- Drivability problems or total breakdown
- Clutch slipping feels like no power
- Strange bleeping noise going up hills
- Flashing "N" whilst slowing down
Why Replacing Just the Actuator Isn’t Enough
Most garages just change the actuator — but that’s not a complete fix. These systems wear as a unit. A proper repair includes:
✔️ New OE clutch + Release bearing
✔️ Full clutch actuator rebuild
✔️ Gear shift motor check
✔️ Diagnostics, gearbox oil, calibration
✔️ Final test drive and optimisation
✔️ A visual inspection and cleaning of known troublesome connectors pins and earths, including the tcm relay.

⚠️ Warning About Chinese Actuators
Many aftermarket actuators (especially from China) don’t work — or fail again quickly. They can cause more problems and confuse diagnosis. If you’ve fitted one, do not throw away your old original unit. We only refurbish genuine OE parts.

Toyota Auris MMT Gearbox Repairs & Actuator Support | MMT Experts
Understanding the Multi-Mode Transmission (MMT) System in the Toyota Auris
At MMT Experts, we specialize in diagnosing, repairing, and reconditioning semi-automatic gearbox systems in the Toyota Auris. The MMT (Multi-Mode Transmission) system in the Auris is designed to deliver the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission with the comfort and convenience of an automatic. Found in both petrol and diesel variants, the MMT system in the Auris employs more advanced actuator types than those seen in smaller Toyota models like the Aygo or some Yaris versions.
The Toyota Auris does not use the smaller electric actuator commonly found in the Aygo or 1.0L Yaris models. Instead, it uses one of two specific clutch actuator systems, both of which require expert knowledge and diagnostic precision.
The 2 Types of Clutch Actuators in the Toyota Auris MMT System
1. Electro-Hydraulic Clutch Actuator
- Commonly used in Toyota Auris diesel and some 1.6L petrol models.
- Operates with a hydraulic pump, solenoids, and pressure sensors to engage the clutch.
- Requires precise hydraulic pressure testing and specialist calibration.
Common Symptoms:
- Difficulty selecting gears.
- Audible hydraulic noises before failure.
- Loss of drive, especially in traffic or when stationary.
2. Inward-Pulling Electric Actuator (Clutch Fork Style)
- Found in select petrol Auris models with later gearbox variations.
- Uses a linear motor to pull the clutch fork inwards.
- Often mistaken for a hydraulic setup, making correct diagnosis essential.
Common Symptoms:
- Harsh or jerky engagement.
- Slipping clutch when accelerating.
- Gear selected but car fails to move.
Unsure Which Actuator Your Toyota Auris Has?
Because the Toyota Auris comes in multiple engine and gearbox combinations, it's essential to identify the correct actuator type before quoting or repairing. If you're unsure, we highly recommend contacting us directly:
Call: 07702 795962
Email: support@mmtexperts.com
Our team can assist by:
- Checking actuator compatibility via registration, VIN, gearbox number, or a clear photo.
- Confirming correct pricing and turnaround time.
- Assessing if your actuator can be refurbished or requires replacement.
If you already know your actuator type, feel free to complete our online test form to start the refurbishment process.
How the Toyota Auris MMT System Works
The Auris MMT system is built on a conventional manual transmission base, enhanced with smart automation controlled by actuators and the Transmission Control Unit (TCU).
Key Components:
- Manual gearbox foundation with clutch and gears.
- Clutch actuator (electro-hydraulic or fork-style depending on model).
- Gear shift actuator to change gears automatically.
- TCU (Transmission Control Unit) to manage coordination and operation.
Operating Modes:
- Automatic Mode: Shifts gears based on throttle, load, and speed.
- Manual Mode: Allows the driver to manually select gears with automated clutch operation.
Creep Function:
- Enables slow forward movement without throttle input — helpful for traffic or parking.
Common Toyota Auris MMT Faults
These faults can occur in both actuator types and are regularly seen in Auris models:
Typical Symptoms:
- Flashing "N" on the dashboard.
- Stuck in neutral or unable to select gear.
- Jerky, delayed, or inconsistent gear changes.
- Loss of drive while driving or at a stop.
Frequent Fault Codes:
- P0900: Clutch Actuator Circuit Fault
- P0810: Clutch Position Control Error
- P0909: Gate Select Control Fault
- P0919: Gear Shift Position Control Error
