P.S.
I was also told that the shift time of both the new DCT and DSG gearboxes are 30ms, no more, no less.
Great info, what is your source? Again, I seriously doubt the first point, the principal one of immediate debate but am glad to hear about the second. Confirms my estimates right on the money. To be clear on that I would say depending on mode minimum shift time would be ~ 30 ms.
