First generation 5EAT vs second generation 5EAT

[AKLGT]

I've driven the '08 5EAT. The shifts are smoother, but I wouldn't say any faster.

 

Also it was a different story driving a stock '08 5EAT and my Stage 1 5EAT.

 

The rev matching is really the only thing that works better with the torque converter.

 

Until a '08 5EAT is dyno'ed, we really won't know.

and a stock 05 or 06 5EAT would have to be dyno'd same day and same dyno to get a good comparison.

I agree. The feeling of the two of them are very different in my opinion. I did like how quickly the second generation 5EAT reacted when I downshifted. It worked noticeably quicker than the generation 1 5EAT.
