atleast they are all engaged

things usually go wrong during shifts

...but would it be fun to drive? I know transmissions like the PDK and other twin clutch systems are faster and so on...but you know what? i'd still rather shift the gears myself. if i want to bounce the engine off the rev limiter...then so be it.

but i do love the engineering of it.

my 2/100ths of a dollar.

I miss the days in F1 where drivers actually drove the car. Misshifts were part of the sport....
