Yes you do. Flywheel on the Semi's are very heavy and in order to sync right you have to double clutch.
IMO also the fact is yes it is better than conventional manual, the paddle shifters behind the wheel to change gears & it's clutch less. It has a robotized clutch & the shifting are much quicker/faster than with stick shift manual. Even the best/experienced driver can't change gears as fast using clutch as the semi auto. Semi auto changes gears faster will result with better acceleration & has the advantage in races. They really benefits for F1 cars & now for many exotic cars.
There are three main types of gear shifters for vehicles: manual, automatic, and semi-automatic. Manual shifters require the driver to manually change gears using a clutch pedal and gear stick. Automatic shifters change gears automatically without the need for manual input. Semi-automatic shifters allow the driver to manually shift gears without a clutch pedal, using paddle shifters or buttons on the steering wheel.
Nope, you don't even have to single clutch... I work with a few people who only touch the clutch when making a full stop. Personally, I think it's hard to do, and I single clutch. If you're ever testing with DOT, you best make sure you're double clutching though, because that's the "correct" way to shift, in their book.
You don't. They use either a linkage or a hydraulic clutch.
All Yamaha PW80 s have 3 semi automatic gears ( no clutch lever etc )
Semi-Automatic. The gears are changed by machine, but the driver can decide what gear the car should be in.
No you don't need to clutch there semi-automatic but clutching does no harm and it will teach you to clutch if you ever change bike. Hope this helps you :)
The TVS Jive is a unique motorcycle that features a no-clutch system, allowing riders to shift gears without using a traditional clutch lever. It utilizes a semi-automatic transmission, where the rider simply rolls off the throttle to change gears, making it easier for beginners or those in stop-and-go traffic. The design incorporates a mechanism that automatically disengages the engine from the transmission during gear changes, ensuring smooth transitions without the need for manual clutch operation. This innovation enhances convenience while providing a seamless riding experience.
its an automatic car with a manual option (excluding the clutch part) in which you select when the gears change just by either moving the shift knob a special direction. or F1 inspired shift paddles. you dont even need to take your foot off the gas.
Not with the clutch by itself.
Formula One cars use semi-automatic sequential gearboxes with six or seven forward gears and one reverse gear. The driver initiates gear changes using paddles mounted on the back of the steering wheel and electro-hydraulics perform the actual change as well as throttle control. Clutch control is also performed electro-hydraulically except from and to a standstill when the driver must operate the clutch using a lever mounted on the back of the steering wheel.

Absolutely not. The clutch should be between the motor and the transmission, you should never have to open up the transmission to change the clutch unless you have one of those dual-clutch semi-auto paddle shifter cars, and then I wouldn't even try fixing that unless I had fairly extensive transmission experience, which, if you're asking this, I'm guessing you don't. Changing a clutch can be fairly easy on some cars, and fairly hard on others, the hardest part is lining up the clutch plate while bolting on the pressure plate; it must be perfectly aligned or it will be impossible to reinstall the motor.
