No, the sequential manuals we're talking about here are similar to motorcycle transmissions in that the 6 gears must be selected sequentially but instead of a lever or handle that has to be actuated by hand your foot, the shifting fork is operated by a hydraulic actuator that is controlled by computer. When the computer detects a shift from the paddle it operates the shifter to execute a perfect shift. On a downshift the computer precisely blips the throttle to match revs.
It's the same shifting system used on Formula 1 cars.
The tiptronic or sportshift systems in a lot of cars now is basically a regular automatic transmission (replete with a torque converter) that allows the driver to select when to shift but the shifts are much slower.
