I know this is an old topic ... but SMG is a manual box. People keep saying it is clutchless ... well that is wrong. The car has no clutch pedal ... but it has a clutch. It just happens to be operated by a computer, hence making it automated. The tranny has no TC or any of the typical automatic parts. It simiply put is an semi-automated/full-automated manual gearbox. Some of the features built in are designed to keep you from over-reving your motor. It also allows you to drive much faster on a track because you have both hands on the wheel and can concentrate more on setting the car up for a turn. This has nothing to do with the fun factor of physically selecting your own gears! Either way is fun-period.
