Just for clarification, the Hewland 6 speed sequential shift is definitely NOT a DSG gearbox :rolleyes:

lol, very true.

Looks impressive though.

I realise that, but it is a Dual-Clutch Sequential Gearbox

Just some short hand ('cause whole description wouldn't fit neatly in subject box)

So I just stole some of the letters DSG (although a bit misleading it does share some of the same reason d'etre as the "real" DSG)

Its not a dual clutch, it just has a twin plate in it. ;)

again, very true, a Hewland box is just like a normal manual but with a sequential gear selection, nothing to do with DSG or 'semi-auto' or anything like that....;)
