Re: how does it work? (archive)

: okay, let me get this straight. It is pretty much like steprtonic trans, but with not torque equalizer? I do not quite understand how this works. I mean when you drive a good old manual you usually do not always let go of the clutch right away, but rather slowly to make it more smooth, right? You can not do that with a button, right? Please explain...

and SMG is a true manual transmission (the clutch is computer controlled). the steptronic (or in Porsche lingo, tiptronic) is a true automatic transmission with a torque convertor
