[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 641759, member: 5697"] Predominantly, the box is what it is. Pure manual aside, A Steptronic/Tiptronic box is an AUTOMATIC box with a manual seletion mode. The gear changes in the exact same way that it would as if left to change on its own except you instructed it to change It still employs torque converters which is where alot of the drivetrain losses with auto and manual cars go. A semi-manual/sequential manual gearbox ala SMG, SMGII, DSG, Selespeed is a MANUAL box with an automatic selection mode. Its like a conventional manual box except the features that enable it to shift without the traditional notion of depressing a clutch and shifting on its own too. Some hydraulic clutches, some 2 clutches... EIther ways, its a manual box unlike the above. The pure manual box will never shift as fast as a semi-manual/sequential manual gearbox nor will it be able to match the consistency of the shifts however it does offer driver involvement and certain manouvers such as heel and toe? SMG II blips the throttle for you automatically while downshifting so no need to heel and toe lor. I dont know about the drivetrain losses between the sequential boxes and the pure manual boxes though although i would bet the differences, if any, are minimal. [/QUOTE]
