So couldn't you put the clutch in, stop, then shift down twice? I've never actually used a sequential gearbox tbh. I agree with some of the others here; if you have a $20,000 gearbox, your car probably isn't seeing many street miles.

The adult video store sells ones that are three feet long and come in black and light pink. They're kinda floppy though.

Not quite as culture appropriate, but just as useless.

Yeah, but when you lose a drag race to a minivan and bring dishonor to your family you can gut yourself with the shifter.

Yea, I was thinking something more like this. I've seen them made for other cars in the past. It's more for track but I like it for daily as well. It greatly reduces the time transitioning time between steering and shifting.

Yeah, I went for zero transition time from steering and shifting.

Flappy paddles.

Not quite as 'fun' as a manual, but quicker around the track. And as close as you can get to a sequential box without a metric shitload of cash.

I'm 'That' guy who has just done exactly that. My car is a daily driver and sees it's fair share of track days. Just installed a Holinger sequential. It's very easy to drive in every day traffic - you just need to make sure that you shift down the gears when approaching the traffic lights.

Sequence is R N 1 2 3 4 5 6. You can move from say 4th to 1st easily with a few throttle blips with the clutch in coasting to the lights.

With a Motec ECU configured with auto-blip/flat shifting it is very easy to change gears without the clutch as long as a) you are on the the accelerator when upshifting or b) on the brake when downshifting. The daily driver action of shifting from 4th to 5th when coasting to lower revs needs the clutch to make the shift reliable and clunk-free.
