How does a sequential transmission work?

In a vehicle with a sequential gearbox, you just hit a lever or a paddle to click through each of the gears in order, whether you are up-shifting or down-shifting. In other vehicles with a sequential gearbox, there is an actual lever that the driver either pushes forward or pulls back to shift up or shift down.

Firstly, instead of synchromesh rings, sequential gearboxes have dog clutches, aka ‘dog gears,’ MotorTrend explains. At least, automotive ones do, but more on that later.
