: : : : but then would manual clutch and a stick shift would really be a "true manual"?
: : : : And how different is it for the driver? I have driven stertronc bimmers before and it was not nearly as much fun as a regular manual. It gave a lot less control of what's going on. How is SMG different from that? What exactly is changed by the lack of the torque converter? Does it give the same control of the car?


Can someone that ownes one of these describe the start-off proceedure. If you have no clutch, do you release the stick slowly? If it is going to be a button this is not possible. Which would lead me to the conclusion that the computer does it at a certian RPM. I have yet to see a good explaination in a magazine. Someone give me a description please.
