skipping gears when accelerating

I see, thanks... presumably with sequential gearboxes (e.g., DSG) you can't block change? i.e., can you go into second for just a fraction of a second before changing to 3rd?
Things like DSGs are pretty quick at block changing, although not quite instant. You just hit the button twice and the computer changes as fast as it can, which is a fraction of a second per change. BHML said:

A DSG box is two manual boxes sat next to each other in effect - so one box does 1,3,5 and the other does 2,4,6. Block shifting between two gears in the same half of the box will work like a normal shift in a manual box, so a DSG box changes down sequentially; at least the last one I drove did (although that was 4 years ago).Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
