[QUOTE="Murray20c8, post: 319860, member: 6078"] You can't teach an old dog new tricks! ;) The motorcycle analogy was referring to sequential shifting. A motorcycle can not pick a gear. It must cycle through the gears just like a DCT. Just because one doesn't need to disengage / reengage the clutches by use of a third pedal / lever doesn't mean it is not a manual transmission. Anyway, the point is a DCT can not be compared to hydraulic automatic transmission (AKA Slush box). It is a manual transmission that defaults to an automatically controlled manual transmission. If a stick transmission defaulted to be controlled by hydraulic or mechanical solenoids would it still be a manual transmission? It is entirely possible to do that, so what's the difference? It's just a different way to control the transmission. One way is preferred by you and me, but we disagree on the terminology it seems. Anyway, let's agree to disagree on the terminology. We both find it more pleasurable to disengage / reengage the clutch by ourselves. [/QUOTE]
