and when you are racing/not drifting, just use the clutch,
then you wont get that massive jolt during gearchanges and it is still faster than conventional boxes !

but I dont like those "automatic" versions
In drifting though you still use the clutch on a regular basis, called clutch kicking, useful in underpowered cars, such as the AE86. Mid-drift shifting isn't that hard, it's not like I have to go down four gears, usually just switching one, MAYBE two. A paddle shift as seen in a WRC car, would be the trickest bit you could put on.
