if somebody could thatd be great because im pretty interested in it now that i saw it

something new that i havent heard about

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-au...c_transmission

dont know how reliable this is but its what i found

 

Paddle shift is nothing more than the ability to manually "shift" an automatic transmission using paddles on the steering wheel or steering column.

More than likely what you're thinking of is like a DSG gearbox (IIRC the Aston does not use this) which is a double clutch manually operated automatic. The DSG basically has two gearshafts (input shafts?) that are always spinning. Whenever you want to change gears, it simply changes gears, disengages one clutch and engages the other sumultaneously to make it virtually instant.

 

i was thinking more along the lines of ferrari using "F1 transmissions"

 

thats what mufasa described I believe.

 

i did some research myself

DSG is awesome

 

Theres a rumor going around that the 2010 STI will have a 6-speed option as well as some kind of DSG option along with more power in both.
