The Suzuki AGS (or 5AGS/6AGS) is a five/six-speed Auto Gear Shift transmission. Based on a manual transmission, it uses an electro-hydraulic actuator for automatic gear shifting.
A notable feature is the Park (P) position of the gear selector (see 1 and 2), which makes the AGS appear to the driver as a conventional automatic transmission.
Since 2014, it has been a low-budget option. However, it later became part of Suzuki's "strong" hybrid system.
Overall, I don't like the AGS. It combines the disadvantages of all types of transmissions. Thankfully, there are no AGS transmissions in new JDM cars anymore. This also means that there are no strong hybrids for JDM. JDM strong hybrids based on AGS have been replaced by mild hybrids based on CVT.
