    Iveco Daily 50C18 dealer issues
    Answered by Graham Smith · 18 August 2011

    We have contacted Iveco on your behalf and requested their response to your claims. While not trying to second-guess the company's comments I believe some of your concerns are unfounded. The gearbox, for instance, is an automated manual shift unit, which is a regular manual gearbox fitted with an automatic shift device, so it has the same gearbox and clutch as the straight manual gearbox, and there are no towing issues with that. The noisy diff has been replaced, so you can't be critical of Iveco for that, the wiper arm is easy to replace, the electric windows should be simple, which really leaves the main issue as the logic of the gear selection. Most automated shift gearboxes hesitate as they shift gears, it happens when the clutch is disengaged, the gear changed and the clutch re-engaged, which can feel awkward and definitely not as smooth as a regular auto trans. That's why VW developed the DSG gearbox, which employs two clutches for smoother, faster shifts.
