these types of gearboxes have been used in F1 for a while so the knowledge to build one is out there. Will Mitsi think about this and go to Quaife for example ir design it themselves?

VW claims it developed the DSG 'box in-house, assigning a sizeable chunk of its 9000 R&D employees to the project. It was launched on the Audi TT V6 in 2002, and has since spread across VW group cars. That gives VW a five-year head-start, assuming Mitsubishi does manage to play catch up in 2007

thats 1 hell of a headstart of the field dont you think????? :shock: :shock: :shock:

that was only an example, there are a few good gearbox people out there.

I thought that twin clutch was only available in semi auto boxes anyway
