The biggest difference is weight. Including the flywheel and clutch, the sequential weighs nearly 100 pounds less than the DSG, which is a huge amount for a race car. The sequential also has fewer gear shafts to spin—just two versus three for the dual-clutch. Paired with a lighter flywheel, that means less rotating mass for the engine to spin. Unlike a dual-clutch, which uses helical-style gears, a sequential has straight-cut gears, meaning less power loss traveling through the transmission into the axles. It also uses dog teeth connectors instead of synchronizers to get from one gear to another, forcing the gears together instead of smoothly transitioning from one to another READ HERE
