if i recall, they are both manual and automatic. you move the gear selector down past the normal PRNDL and there is a manual setting, where you push the selector slightly up or down to upshift or downshift.

to me that is the same as moving an automatic thru low (first, second gear, etc). my old slush box e30 has a position on the gearbox for each of the four gears. steptronic and the like just make it prettier. functionally, its still a slush box to me.
