Automatic transmissions have a torque converter. PDK is a 7 speed manual with a dual clutch controlled by a computer. To distinguish between an "automatic" and thing like SMG, F1, Steptronic and PDK, Car and Driver coined the term "manumatic". None of the manumatics listed above have a power wasting torque converter.

Also when you turn the key and start the ignition, it defaults to auto.
