So I am not entirely convinced that I will like this. I know DCT will be more performant but if 6MT is more fun that's what I want. I think they should have made a dual clutch manual with the clutch pedal controling engagement of one clutch and disengagement of the other ! Any thought ?
I believe the 6MT is a dual clutch transmission where the clutches work simultaneously. That's why the clutch action is so light.
