[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 420360, member: 3592"] Hmmm...no, because I don't quite agree with the traditional distinctions nowadays: torque converter vs clutch, planetary gearset vs meshed gear pairs, bands vs collars, etc. Besides which, an automatic transmission also has clutches... [I]Wiki: "An automatic transmission that allows the driver to manually select gears is a 'manumatic' and a manual transmission that is controlled by microchip is an 'automated' transmission."[/I] The lines are so blur these days that, simply put, my yardstick is whether the [I]default[/I] mode of shifting is carried out with or without driver input. To me, with driver input is manual, without driver input is automatic. So what is the default shilft mode of a 335i DCT? You may all heartily disagree with me... :D [/QUOTE]
