EGS, EGT and other robotised manual gearboxes.

The EAT6 is a conventional automatic transmission with epicyclic gears and torque converter. It has clutches to lock and unlock the various ratios, just as the 4HP20 and all other electronically controlled automatic transmssions of the last 20 years.

It is not an electronically controlled manual transmission.

I didn't know that - when I bought the C4 picasso the salesman just said that the EGS box had been renamed.

I think the "Sensodrive" box fitted in the Pluriel was the first one Citroën used and was a problem right from the start, I assume it was not the same system (EGS) as fitted in the first C4s.

Agreed, if I was buying a pluriel the last thing I would be worried about was the sensodrive gearbox. A new roof cassette is in the region of £3800.
Make sure you don't forget your umbrella & that's when the roof is closed.

Apart from having a clutch that can go on these robot boxes and a DMF on diesels, the problems are the actuators and the implementation of the system.
AFAIK the actuators are all made by Bosch. I have read that even the Honda system uses the same actuators. Honda gave the system 3 yrs, then went back to CVT transmission.
