Dacia Easy-R

The Dacia Easy-R is an automated manual transmission used by Renault and Dacia that uses electro-mechanical actuation (rather than electro-hydraulic actuation) to automate the gear shifts. The Easy-R uses a traditional manual gearbox with a computer-controlled, electronic clutch; the gear shifts are automatic, and the need for a clutch pedal is eliminated. The number of parts has been reduced by a quarter, ensuring better reliability and simplified maintenance.

Easy-R was available in the Logan, Logan MCV, and Sandero models. It was also available in the Duster and currently it is still available in the Renault Kwid and Renault Triber. There are two versions: the 5-speed JS3 used in petrol engines and the 6-speed TS4 001 used in diesel engines.

The Dacia Easy-R gearbox was a resounding failure, and now Dacia has switched to using CVT gearboxes on its new models.
