Cool idea but you still have to use the clutch. What happens if you pull the shift lever or the paddle and don't hit the clutch?

looks like it won't shift until you push in the clutch, look at 2:25 on the video. I can see if you have a 997.1 and for some reason why you would want this over manual. But i would still get PDK over this

Cool idea but using the clutch makes it inferior to the PDK. I rather row the gears if im gonna be using the clutch.

I agree. If you're still using the clutch, I'd rather shift myself.
