Aren't there some developments to make manual transmissions more like automatics, such as clutchless manuals? Or, this being a stretch, the first to fourth gear skip of Corvettes?
I really don't know Brent. But anything that takes the foot actuated clutch out of the loop is just, well .....loopy as far as I'm concerned. I see a concept for
efficiency in a "clutchless" manual but where's the fun of controlling the engagement of the engine on the operation of the wheels?
