Yep


A standard 5-speed manual gearbox and a new 6-speed twin-clutch automatic with manual mode, codenamed SST, will be offered. The latter is similar to Volkswagen's DSG, meaning that it's essentially a manual transmission that has a seamless full automatic mode. In manual mode, up- and downshifts are performed sequentially via paddles behind the steering wheel, with each gear change performed faster than any human hand. An anonymous source inside the company claims that this new transmission will be better than VW's.

“Because ours comes well after Volkswagen's version, we needed to make it noticeably better or our customers won't be satisfied. And we're talking about the Evo here, so the feeling is that if our semiautomatic isn't perfect, we'd be better off offering just a conventional manual transmission,” he said. Expect the car's 0-60-mph and quarter-mile times to remain about the same as the Evo IX's, maybe slightly better with the SST because of quicker upshifts.
