I have two questions about the PDK
1) Will it be warrantied like an automatic? Since it has clutches, like a manual, will they cover the clutches with the warrany? I can see how a couple of Launch control starts may end service life very quickly. Since I would be using launch control very infrequently if I thought the warranty would not cover the clutches why spend the money? A clutch in a manual would last me the life of the car since I do not drop it at every stoplight (like I might with launch control ).
2) The PDK shifter looks like all kinds of dust and dirt, not to mention liquids would get into it. It needs a boot to keep crap from accumulating in the large square 'open' area.

Peace and ALWAYs drive on the right side of the road (except UK, australia ...)
