I grew up hearing about all my friends getting 21 speeds, never thought I'd have to hear it again!

What I want to know is how smoothly this thing will shift. It's going to have to be almost imperceptable, otherwise the constant changing up and down would get extremely annoying. Also, how long are these things going to be?

Is this really necessary? Or even truly beneficial?
I'm sure that in the event that this does happen, the true mpg gain will be masked by the numerous other gas-saving technologies that they add on to it, such as the start-stop feature (which in some reports alone accounts for 5-6% mpg decrease), so those mpg improvements will be rolled into whatever the new transmission might get, no matter how small, so then all of a sudden people will think ten-speed transmissions are gas savers. I'm curious how many gears it would drop if you are cruising in top gear and stomp on the gas to accelerate as quickly as possible to pass a car. |

I recall reading that a big reason Porsche went with the 7 speed is that it shares the same gear set as the 7 speed PDK box, which saves them money.

I don't know why that slipped my mind. Is the 7-speed PDK also geared for mpg in seventh while top speed is reached in sixth?

I can't imagine this being a major factor in their decision. I mean the case and shafts are all different anyway, so we're only talking about the actual gears, and if they made a 6-speed manual, they could still use the lower 4-5 gears from the PDK. Besides, a 7-speed trans obviously needs an extra gear, synchros and an extra bearing, wiping out whatever they saved on not making a custom 6th gear for the manual.
