I think h-pattern and sequentials should be in different classes. Both are manuals though, I agree with that.

[@MotiveVideo]

Logic approved.

[@bengibson3955]

Not sure if I agree with you. Sequentials can bang through the changes really quick, but that's predominantly the engagement method rather than the shift pattern. How many people have run a strong dog-engagement H-pattern box? They seem to shift plenty quick as well, with the obvious downside that it's possible to balls it up and grab the wrong gear, of course. Discuss..........

Sequential is assisted manual. The whole purpose of a sequential is to bypass all the fucking around of changing gear in a h pattern along with using a clutch.

[@flamintasty]

There’s nothing assisted about a sequential transmission. It has 2 shafts with gears on, just like a H pattern. Both require your hand to change gear. Unless you have paddle shift obviously.

[@MyFearEatsMe]

@@flamintastyDid you even read what I wrote? The mere fact you bypass using a clutch to change gear is the very definition of manual assisted.

[@DriftNick]

@@MyFearEatsMe Dog engagement gears is what allows the clutchless shifting, sequential is the shifting pattern, there is nothing assisted about it.

[@MyFearEatsMe]

@@DriftNick Yeah so you’re changing from synchro to dog box gears to help you change gears faster without using a clutch which is the very definition of an assisted shift mechanism since you are removing the whole part of using a clutch to change gear and instead using a system to ASSIST you in changing gears faster.

2 pedals. It's an auto.

[@anydaynow01]

Yep, it's essentially two manuals stuck together where the next gear is sequentially preselected and the computer controls the clutch engagement to prevent the engine from stalling when at a stop. So sequentials are functionally just one step away in that the driver has to put the clutch in at a stop instead of a computer, well and the actuation mechanism is not in the same place.

[@anydaynow01]

They definitely aren't full on automatics but comparing them to true clutch/h shift manuals isn't accurate (or fair sport) either, they're in a no man's land and should be their own category. All the need to manually lift throttle, press the clutch, actually moving a gear into place in the drivetrain, release clutch, ease into the throttle, is now automatically done with a mechanism. You do have to "manually" select the part of the powerband to stay in and use a clutch to get off the line, but after that the manual part essentially stops. There are true manuals that use a clutch to shift and have sycros and h pattern, dog boxes and ecu assisted throttle h shifts (rev matching, flat foot) which muddy things quite a bit, then there are sequentials and flappy paddles where you're just telling the transmission to shift via automation.

Sequential transmissions are not manual transmissions. You don't need a third pedal to shift. You aren't shifting in an h pattern. The time it takes to shift a conventional manual transmission with three pedals and an h pattern, versus the time it takes to shift a sequential makes it more of an automatic with a lever and manual shift points. If you are making this absurd claim you have limited to zero automotive knowledge and even less racing experience. There are different classes if a car has a metal chassis versus having composite . There are different classes depending upon what tire size you have. Somehow, according to the brain boxes in this KZbin comment section, a transmission that functions completely differently than a manual transmission, and can shift in a third of the time, should be in the same class... Brilliant But leave it to the KZbin comment section to get every dunce raising their hand to prove they are a dunce.

[@MotiveVideo]

They are identical inside except shift pattern. Weve done a video explaining it all. Beat educate yourself.

[@ThisManTriggeredMe]

@@MotiveVideo Yes and 275/315 tires are exactly the same inside and out. Yet they have two different classes when it comes to racing. Just because (They appear identical) their performance capabilities are not. Composite fenders and metal fenders appear exactly the same. 1 of them ways a third of the other... That's why they are in two separate classes... It seems the only person lacking an education here is you. They are not the same. They do not have the same performance. They should be in two separate classes. And furthermore, uneducated people that don't want to admit there is a difference should stop saying "there isn't a difference" If there wasn't a difference, you would be using a regular manual transmission. Because nobody spends 15K on a transmission that "makes no difference"

You're Clueless. Our 5 speed dog engagement hpattern gear boxes don't require the clutch to shift only to take off. In regards to flat shift, you can set up a strain gauge (which i dont currently run) , so the only difference is the shift pattern also there is more chance of miss shift in with a hpattern, whereas a sequential is more reliable in that sense. Bottom line is if you're a good enough driver it shouldn't matter.
