We're going sequential on the mother-fucker.
Forgive my ignorance, but I thought they were the same thing.

Nope, that would be semi-automatic (really a manual transmission with electro-hydrolically controlled clutch and ECU wizardry). Sequentials can be operated through the same means though, they're just lighter and stronger than a standard design manual trans.

Here's a link to a company called Jerico Performance which produces the sequential trannies for most NASCAR and many other circle track, Trans-Am, and raod racing teams.

They actually aren't that expensive rellatively speaking. Something along the lines of the "Road Race 5 speed" would be what we are looking for here.
