The Getrag box is similar to VW groups DSG arrangement mechanically although I suggest the electronics are probably new and upgraded.
By the way the DSG set up is NOT new despite claims to the contrary.
It was first used around WW I and was invented by an Englishman named Wilson and called a "pre-selector" gearbox. I recall seeing one with the covers off in a military museum a few years ago from one of the earliest tanks.
I can also recall the AEC buses of the 1950's (and they were old when I rode in them in the 1960's) having the same gearboxes.
Pete.
