[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 642790, member: 5697"] Granted you are correct when you mention that machinery is faster when it is well designed and well built but consistency will occur regardless. Given certain thresholds of industrial testing by which the cars are put through before production, the gearbox can be operated within the confines of those limits without failure. Jerking and breaking easily is a problem with all the semi manual boxes when they made their emergence. Even BMW's SMGI. When i say consistency, i mean consistency with shift times given the fact that it shifts properly at every go. Meaning, if one shift takes 250ms, chances are very high the next shift will be 250ms as well or if not, maybe a deviation of +/- 10ms. It doesnt take into account the times the box fails to engage or the times the box breaks or selects the wrong gear which i dont see how it can select the wrong gear because its not an automatic gearbox right? So the computer doesnt "select" the gear per se. So with regards to consistency, yes, the semi manual box will achieve the 250ms every time or with slight deviations such as +/-10ms. Can you say this for a human operating the manual box? I highly doubt so.. I was demonstrating the ability of the box to shift within that time parameter and not so much the box's ability to actually shift(ie: missing gears or enterring the wrong gear). It just emphasizes the fact that everytime the box shifts, it will shift within 250ms +/-10ms or very close to that which is a level of precision and accuracy a human cannot achieve hence its superiority in this aspect.
