sweet setup, from an engineering stand point. SSS transmissions are in fact one of the best transmissions out there for sport cars (and track cars naturally). those who think driving a SSS transmission is gay can go back to driving your rice rockets
@ProGuitarist lol have u ever driven a manual car? clearly u will still need to clutch in at the lights and change all the way down to first to take off or shift down once more to neutral to take the clutch out just like a normal manual.
what a retarded system. you wanna pay thousands of dollars on buying this stupid sequential gear system which you have to work the clutch? i mean, i understand the bmw's SMG's existance, because it is a manual box w/ no clutch work involved. but what is the point of a sequential box w/ clutch? seriously.
@hoonpv have u ever watched motorsports? V8 supercars have sequential gearbox and still run a clutch. I assume if u r refering to clutchless shifting like in motorsports but a dog box for the car and u can u the gearbox with out the clutch but if ur referring to no clutch at all then buy an auto and stop having a cry
I suppose that there's a normal synchronized gearbox in this car and here comes the problem. If you shift with your custom shifter which comes instead of normal H-pattern gear lever and you forget to use the clutch, the synchro will tell you that you've mistaken and you won't try again. How about the paddles? Will the computer try until he ruins a gearbox?
Before posting comments about gear engagement and gear cut styles, perhaps you should watch the video. He clearly states that the system is actuating the trans shift levers only and that you must manually depress the clutch pedal.
say hello to wrecked synchronizers unless that thing comes with a dog engagement conversion. it would be an good system if it had means of blipping and cutting the throttle on down and up shifts + dog engagement. as it sits however it's neither here nor there bastard child of an automated racing manual and a regular street car manual.

how do you put it into neutral when your at a light? or do you always need to have the clutch pedal pressed so you wont stall out?

How hard would it me to adapt to other cars? I don't think very difficult you should start doing a universal kit.
