There is no clutch pedal in automated manual trannies. I am a HUGE manual tranny fan, but those trannies are better...

I'm sure they are better,but...Flicking your finger just doesn't feel the same as mashing that pedal to the floor and throwing that shifter around! Not to mention fanning the clutch lolOriginally Posted by Leon R

"Better" is a subjective term. If you want to keep a car @ stock power levels, yes. If you want to increase them, a DCT requires an upgrade/rebuild. A manual simply requires a different clutch.
High hp MKIVs. The 6MTs require nothing but a clutch. The auto couldn't hold the power, so they are switched to.....Powerglides.
E92 BMW M3. A guy on my forum has a DCT that his 773hp engine is killing. He tried custom carbon fiber clutch packs ($10k), but they stick, so he's back to his stock clutch packs that he has to replace with a higher frequency.
Since I don't keep anything stock, for me, a DCT isn't a better tranny....not by a long shot.
