    I was going a car related website, and stumbled across a article about Saab's Sensonic gearbox, if you are not familiar with the Sensonic, it's basically a manual transmission, but the Clutch is controlled automatically. I wanted to see this type of transmission in Beam, it would be very interesting if they do make it to say the least.

    Yes I'm not aware but something like that would be nice it should be abbreviated (S)

    Well that's essentially a manual transmission in realistic mode with the clutch helper enabled... ;)

    Yup, It's that one, as shown on a special Top Gear episode.

    Yeah, ik, but I just wanted to see one as having an actual name, a physical representation of the transmission, an actual use and difference rather than just called, "a Manual in Realistic Mode"

    Interesting, that is like complete opposite of some versions of truck transmissions, where you use clutch from 0 speed and after that box did make shifts automatically despite box being build like manual box with shafts and gears, those were called robot transmissions, but today even clutch seems to be automatic.

    I need to test at some point if I can build such truck transmission using clutch instead of torque converter and automatic transmission.
