I've heard that volkswagen has an automatic transmission that instead of utilizing multi disc wet clutches, they automatically control synchros in what I've heard is basically a manual transmission. I've seen other things that do this, like Eaton's semi transmissions, but was looking for more information. Does anyone know anything about this transmission or where I can find more information on it?

Sounds like you are talking about automated manual transmissions, and in this case the VW DSG. This is not a traditional manual transmission though, it is a dual shaft gearbox.
The Smart car uses an automated manual transmission which is more like traditional manuals.
