This type of transmission reminds me at one style used in first-gen Twingo. However, the Twingo case was a automated manual transmission that the sequence to change gears is simillar at the sequential transmissions of racing cars. And this Corvette don't equipe this peculiarity, since the sequence of the "sequential" transmission is inexistent... But compense in the moment at change first to second and with the second push more the gas and low at first gear. Or this is that i'm thinking.

It was a blast to drive, even if you shifted from first gear to second gear, and then second gear overdrive, and then third gear, and then third gear overdrive, and then fourth gear, and then fourth gear overdrive. The transmission didn’t love being used that way, And the other way described in this video was probably nicer on the clutch. At the time, this was the fastest car I had ever driven. Before that, I was driving a 1985 mustang GT 5.04 barrel carburetor, 5 speed. But this Corvette blew it out of the water. It’s hard to believe that there are yet two other vehicles I’ve driven since then that blow this out of the water.
