That looks REALLY friggin cool... I can't wait to get to drive
something with one of those. However it means the end of easy cheap
clutch replacements for the average joe - anyone know how expensive
those dual clutch setups on Ford superduties are to service? heh

Oh the flip side - the increased efficiency potential is awesome - less
parasitic power loss, fewer moving parts vs traditional automatics.

Plus if one was to ever get submerged - potentially less disastrous
carnage :D hehehe
