Toyota Yaris
Toyota Yaris Semi-Automatic Problems? We’re the UK’s #1 Experts in Fixing Them.
️ Common Toyota Yaris 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 Yaris MMT Gearbox Repairs & Actuator Support | MMT Experts
Understanding the Multi-Mode Transmission (MMT) System in the Toyota Yaris
At MMT Experts, we specialize in diagnosing, repairing, and reconditioning all types of semi-automatic gearbox systems found in the Toyota Yaris — from the earliest models to the latest versions. Toyota’s MMT (Multi-Mode Transmission) system, used extensively in the Yaris lineup, is designed to deliver the efficiency of a manual gearbox with the ease and comfort of an automatic.
However, across the different Toyota Yaris engine sizes and gearbox types, there are three distinct clutch actuator types used within the MMT system — and each one requires a specific repair approach. This is why it’s essential to correctly identify your Yaris’s actuator type before proceeding with a quote or refurbishment.
The 3 Types of Clutch Actuators in the Toyota Yaris MMT System
1. Electric Clutch Actuator (similar to Toyota Aygo)
Found in many 1.0L and 1.3L Yaris models.
Uses a small electric motor with internal sensors to engage and disengage the clutch.
Similar in operation to the actuator used in the Toyota Aygo.
Common Symptoms:
Jerky gear changes.
Stuck in neutral.
Flashing “N” light.
2. Electro-Hydraulic Clutch Actuator
Found in some 1.4 D-4D diesel and 1.3 petrol Yaris variants.
Utilizes a hydraulic pump, pressure sensors, and solenoids to operate the clutch.
Requires careful pressure testing and hydraulic calibration.
Common Symptoms:
Loss of clutch pressure.
Gears not engaging.
Audible clicking or buzzing noises before failure.
3. Inward-Pulling Electric Actuator (Clutch Fork Style)
Used in some 1.3L and 1.4L Yaris with later gearbox variations.
This actuator directly pulls the clutch fork inwards, using a linear motor.
Fitted to specific models and gearboxes — sometimes confused with hydraulic setups.
Common Symptoms:
Harsh engagement or “thump” into gear.
Clutch slipping under acceleration.
Vehicle won’t drive but appears to select gear.
Unsure Which Actuator Your Toyota Yaris Has?
Because the Toyota Yaris range includes multiple gearbox and engine configurations, we strongly recommend calling us first if you're unsure | 07702 795962 | Our experienced team can:
Help identify your actuator based on registration, VIN, gearbox number, description or photograph.
Ensure you receive the correct pricing and turnaround time.
Advise on refurbishment suitability if you've already removed the part.
Alternatively, if you already know your actuator type, feel free to proceed with our online test form to begin your refurbishment request.
How the Yaris MMT System Works
The Toyota Yaris MMT system is built on a standard manual gearbox structure but enhanced with automation via actuators and the Transmission Control Unit (TCU).
Key Components:
Manual transmission base with clutch and gears.
Clutch actuator (one of three types described above).
Gear shift actuator to handle gear changes.
TCU (Transmission Control Unit) to manage coordination and timing.
Operating Modes:
Automatic Mode: Seamless gear changes based on throttle and speed.
Manual Mode: Driver control over gear selection with automatic clutch operation.
Creep Function:
Allows slight forward movement for ease in parking and traffic.
Common Toyota Yaris MMT Faults
Regardless of which actuator is fitted, the MMT system can develop faults. These are some of the most common issues we see at MMT Experts:
Typical Faults:
Vehicle stuck in neutral or won’t select gear.
Flashing “N” light and warning messages.
Jerky or delayed shifts.
Loss of drive mid-journey.
Frequent Fault Codes:
P0900: Clutch Actuator Circuit Fault
P0810: Clutch Position Control Error
P0909: Gear Select Control Fault
P0919: Gear Shift Position Control Error
