From what I have learned, little at most....

PDK is a dual clutch transmission that basically shifts ahead of you and is waiting for a click of the paddle to flip from one clutch to the other....the secondary clutch is already engaged and ready to go on any given gear....but its thinking ahead, certainly based on software and accel or decel mode..

So, who else is doing a dual clutch like this?
Yes, this is a bit ADD (Scotty) but I am thinking ahead for when a clutch may no longer be a simple part of my daily routine.

Does subaru do this, or audi (something I can transplant) or any other car that would not cost me an arm and a leg to transplant?

And yes, I may want to flip the tranny, or possibly run it backwards....so mid or rear engine...
