Paddle shifters?

I know that the VW's in T3 are classed w/ and w/o DSG. The DSG cars weigh more.

I always thought the ban on automatics was based on the danger of fluid leaks and spills.
Am I wrong about that?

I think it's just tradition.... sports cars don't have autos, and when created, nobody would dream of a sports car you don't shift yourself! (I still think that)

That's consistent with my perception from the olden days of IT but I can't tell you for sure where it came from.

How about the Audi DSG transmission?

Seems legal in principle, but what 2005 and older non-turbo cars had a DSG transmission?

Josh,

The Audi TT... old ITB Coupe to the new ITR coupe
Same car I mentioned on the AWD link just didn't post the type of car. 2004 and 2005 is the same car and has the specs with a DSG tranny. Not sure what the MK2 specs are but I think one of the last few years they made a 6 speed...
